1 Coding-Decoding Coding is a system of signals. This is a method of transmitting information in the form of codes or signals without it being known by a third person. The person who transmits the code or signal, is called the sender and the person who receives it, is called the receiver. Transmitted codes or signals are decoded on the other side by the receiver—this receiver—this is known as decoding decoding.. In questions on codes, a word (basic word) is coded in a particular way and the candidates are asked to code other words in the same way. The coding and decoding tests are set up to judge the candidate’ candidate’ss abi abilit lity y to dec deciph ipher er the rule tha thatt has bee been n fol follow lowed ed to cod code e a par partic ticula ularr word/message and break the code to decipher the message.

Types of Questions Following are the categories/types of questions which are generally asked in various competitive examinations.
Type 1 Letter Coding In this section, we are going to deal with types of questions, in which the letters of a word are replaced by certain other letters according to a specific pattern/rule to form a code. You are required to detect the coding pattern/rule and answer the question(s) that follow, based on that coding pattern/rule.
In a certain code language, ‘PICTURE’ is written as ‘QHDSVQF’. How would ‘BROWSER’ be written in that same code language?

MAGICAL TIPS
In a certain code language, ‘BAT’ is written ‘ YZG’. How will ‘SICK’ be written in that same code?
Illustration 8
(1) HRYV (4) RHPX Solution (3)
Tip 1
If more than one codes are given then the required code can be derived from the question itself and you will not need to solve it mathematically. e. g .,. In a certain code LOCATE is written as 981265 and SPARK as 47230, the code for CASKET can be derived by common letters in LOCATE and SPARK.
Tip 2
For a word in which a letter repeats at those same pattern repeats for 2nd letter in the word itself. e.g., TASTE has code SZRSD, in this case code for T is S in both cases so if the coding pattern is -1 for T it will be same for all the letters.

Type 2 Direct Letter Coding In direct letter coding system, the code letters occur in the same sequence as the corresponding letters occur in the words. This is basically a substitution method. Illustration 9 In
a certain code language, ‘STARK’ is written as ‘LBFMG’ and ‘MOBILE’ is written as ‘TNRSPJ’. How will ‘BLAME’ be written in that same code language? (1) TSFRJ (3) NJFTP (5) None of these

We have, W 4 Hence, O 12 R 9 K 16
W O M A N
4 12 14 26 13
Here, each letter is coded by the numerical obtained by subtracting its ‘position value’ in English alphabet, from 27, e. g ., W, O, M, A, N are 23rd, 15th, 13th, 1st and 14th letters. So, their codes are (27–23), (27–15), (27–13), (27–1), (27–14), i.e., 4, 12, 14, 26, 13, respectively.
If ‘RAJU’ is coded as 11-12-13-14 and ‘JUNK’ is coded as 13-14-10-9, then how will you code ‘RANK’?

Type 4 Deciphering Message Word Coding/Numeral Coding To analyse such codes, any two messages bearing a common word/numeral are picked up. The common code word/numeral will represent that word/code. Proceeding similarly by picking up all possible combinations of two, the entire message can be decoded and the codes for individual word/numeral be found. Illustration 16 In
a certain code language, ‘it pit sit’ means ‘I am boy’, ‘it nit sit’ means ‘I am girl’, which of the following means ‘girl’? (1) it (4) nit
(2) pit (3) sit (5) None of these
Solution (4)
We have, it pit sit I am boy it nit sit I am girl
Here, ‘it sit’ is common in both the messages and ‘I am’ is common in both codes. Hence, code for girl will be ‘nit’. Illustration 17 In
a certain code language, ‘786’ means ‘study very hard’, ‘ 958’ means ‘hard work pays’ and ‘ 645’ means ‘study and work’. Which of the following is the code for ‘very’?
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

Solution (3)

7 8 6
study
very
hard
...(i)
9 5 8
hard
work pays
...(ii)
6 4 5
study
and
work ...(iii)
In the first and second statements, the common code digit is ‘8’ and the common word is ‘hard’. So, ‘8’ means ‘hard’. In the first and third statements, the common code digit is ‘6’ and the common word is ‘study’. So, ‘6’ means ‘study’. From Eqs. (i) and (ii), 8 hard From Eqs. (i) and (iii), 6 study Hence, very 7

Type 5 Substitution Coding In this section, some particular words are assigned certain substituted names. Now, questions are formed based on that principles. Illustration 18 If
‘white’ is called ‘blue’, ‘blue’ is called ‘red’, ‘red’ is called ‘yellow’, ‘yellow’ is called ‘green’, ‘green’ is called ‘black’, ‘black’ is called ‘violet’ and ‘violet’ is called ‘orange’, then what would be the colour of human blood? (1) Red (3) Yellow (5) Orange
(2) Green (4) Violet
(3) We know the colour of the human blood is ‘red’ and given that ‘red’ is called ‘yellow’. So, the colour of human blood is ‘yellow’.
Solution
If ‘Parrot’ is known as ‘Peacock’, ‘Peacock’ is known as ‘Swallow’, ‘Swallow’ is known as ‘Pigeon’ and ‘Pigeon’ is known as ‘Sparrow’, then what would be the name of Indian National Bird?
Illustration 19

(2) We know Peacock is the Indian National Bird. But here Peacock is known as Swallow. So the answer is swallow.
