Types of Coding
Practice Examples
Concept Understanding
• Coding is another way of representing the data,
normally used for security or privacy.
• Decoding is cracking the logic/understanding the
pattern used in the representation.
• Coding & Decoding are important in terms of aptitude
examination as we might find at least one question of
one the types of coding – decoding.
• “Woh era uoy syug” this is coded version of
• “how are you guys”
So we will go through the types of coding.
“ era uoy ydaer?”
“Are you ready?”
Types of Coding Decoding
If ABC is coded as NOP then
DEF is coded as _____
Type 1. Alphabet to alphabet coding
(A=1) + 13 = 14 N
(B=2) + 13 = 15 O
(C=3) + 13 = 16 P
So DEF QRS
Ex: If EFG is coded as LNP then HIJ is coded as
Option: A. OPQ B. OQS C. PRS D. RTU
Sol: EFG (E=5)+7 (F=6)+8 (G=7)+9 = 12 14 16 LNP
HIJ (H=8)+7 (I=9)+8 (J=10)+9 = 15 17 19 OQS
Types of Coding Decoding
If ABC is coded as 2 4 6 then
OPQ is coded as _____
Type 2. Alphabet to Number coding
A=1*2=2
B=2*2=4
C=3*2=6
So OPQ 30 32 34
Ex: If TUV is coded as 1010.511 then XYZ is coded as
Option: A. 1212.512 B. 1111.512 C. 1211.512 D. 1212.513
𝑻=𝟐𝟎 𝑼=𝟐𝟏 𝑽=𝟐𝟐
Sol: TUV = 10 10.5 11 1010.511
𝟐 𝟐 𝟐
XYZ 24 25 26 1212.513
Types of Coding Decoding
If CLAT is coded as * # $ % then
TALL is coded as _____
Type 3. Alphabet to Symbol coding
C *
L#
A $
T%
So TALL %$##
Ex: If EMINEM is coded as $*!^$* then MEME is coded as
Sol: E $ M * I ! N ^
MEME *$*$
Types of Coding Decoding
In a certain language, if red is coded as blue, blue is
coded as green, green is coded as yellow, yellow is
coded as red, then find the color of Grass
Type 4. Chain coding sequence
As grass color is green but green is coded as yellow.
The answer will be yellow.
Types of Coding Decoding
In a certain language
You are beautiful Ame Mee Buti
I and You Mee Xee Su
I am Beautiful Ame Xee Ree
Then find code For “and”.
Type 5. sentence to sentence coding
Taking first two statements You Mee
Taking last two statements I Xee
So from second statement and Su
Ex: In certain language
”po ki top ma” means “usha is playing cards”
“kop ja ki ma” means “ asha is playing Tenis” .
“ki top sop ho “ means “they are playing football” .
”po sur kop” means ”cards and tennis”. Which word means “Asha”?
Sol: by comparing first two statements is & playing = ki & ma
by second & last statement tenis = kop
So Asha = Ja
Practice Examples
Que: IF “ RIVER “ is coded as “ SJWFS “ then WATER will
be coded as_____
A. XUBSF B. YBUSF C. XAUFS D. XBUFS
Sol:
R+1=S
I+1=J
..
R+1=S
So WATER XBUFS
Practice Examples
Que: IF “EXAM” is coded as “ FZDQ” then “AGE” is
coded as
A. BIJ B. BHJ C. BIH D. CIH
Sol:
E+1=F
X+ 2 = Z
A+ 3 = D
M+ 4 = Q
So AGE BIH
Practice Examples
Que: IF “AUTHOR” is coded as “TUAROH” then “BEHALF”
is coded as
A. HEBFLA B. UEFLAH C. UEBALF D. EHBLAF
Sol:
AUT HOR TUA ROH
So BEH ALF HEB FLA
Practice Examples
Que: IF “TIGER” is coded as “SFHJU” then “MONKEY” is
coded as
A. NLOOHZ B. ZFLPNO C. ZFLOPN D. NLOPIA
Sol:
T I G E R S F H J U
SO,
MONKEY ZFLOPN
Practice Examples
Que: IF “ RAM” IS Coded as “234” then “ TAG” is coded
as______
Sol: A. 135 B. 140 C. 436 D. 439
Sol:
R 18
A1
M 13
18 * 1 * 13 = 234
TAG = 20 * 1 * 7 = 140
Practice Examples
Que: If
618 = 108
428 = 112
238 = ?
Options: A. 098 B. 116 C. 126 D. 076
Sol:
6 * 18 = 108
4 * 28 = 112
2 * 38 = 076
Practice Examples
Que: IF “ MARGIN” IS Coded as “NZTELK” then “
WINDOW” is coded as______
Sol: A. XHBPTR B. VHPBTR C. VHENRT D. XHPBRT
Sol:
M+1N
A - 1 Z
R+2T
G - 2 E
I + 3 L
N – 3 K
So, WINDOW XHPBRT
Practice Examples
Que: In certain language IF
“ RATE” Is Coded as * # $ +
“GATE” Is coded as # + 0 *
“GET” is coded as * + 0
Then find the code for A & R?
Sol:
Using only first two statements we can say
R=$
&
Using only last two statements we can say
A=#
Practice Examples
