Letter Arrangement Coding:


Coding: Representing the usual information into another format with the help of certain digits, let-
ters or symbols.
Decoding: The logic or method used to decode the given coded information and understanding the
given logic in the coding form is known as decoding.
For Example-
LETTER is written as MGWXJX in coded form.

Here the code for LETTER is the addition of letter in ascending order uniformly.
There are two kinds of patterns.

• FACE TO FACE PATTERN


• CROSS PATTERN

FACE TO FACE PATTERN

CROSS PATTERN

There are four types of relation in letter arrangement coding.


1) Reverse relation
2) ‘+ / -’ relation

3) Reverse and ‘+ / -’ together.


4) FACE TO FACE AND CROSS PATTERN TOGETHER

Substitutional Coding
It is the simplest form of coding where one word or letter is substituted with different words or let-
ters.
Types of questions
Example: In a certain language ‘round’ is written as ‘red’, ‘red’ is written as ‘wood’, ‘wood’ is writ-
ten as ‘bread’ is written as ‘soil’. What do we eat at breakfast?
We eat bread in breakfast and ‘bread’ is written as ‘soil’ here.
Hence, the correct answer is ‘soil’
Example: If ‘D’ is written as ‘O’, ‘O’ is written as ‘T’, ‘N’ is written as ‘F’, ‘G’ is written as ‘A’, ‘V’ is
written as ‘B’, and ‘R’ is written as ‘C’. How the word ‘Ground’ can be written?

The code for ‘GROUND’ is ‘ACTBFO’.


Conditional coding
In conditional coding, there will be some conditions with the coding-decoding pattern and based on
those conditions we have to find out the code for the given statement.
Comprehension based questions in exams based on some logic, 2-3 questions are asked.
In each question below a group of numbers/symbols are provided followed by five combinations of
letter codes numbered (1), (2), (3), (4) & (5).
You have to find out which of the combinations are correctly repeated the group of numbers/sym-
bols based on the following coding system and the conditions and mark the number of that combi-
nation as your answer:

Number/Symbols 1 % 3 * 7 # 8 @ 2 ^ S 1 9

Letter code Q N A X Z P T Y L W J D V

Conditions:
1) If the second element and the fourth element are an even number both are to be coded as Z.
2) If the first element and the last element is an odd number both are to be coded as the alphabet
of the first odd number in the question.
3) If an odd number is followed by an odd number both are to be coded as V.
4) If an even number is preceded and followed by an odd number the even number is to be coded
as Y.
Example:-1. How %37#29 will be coded?
1) NVYTLV
2) NVVILV
3) NLVPLV
4) QLVPLV
5) None of these
Solution:
Number/Symbols: 1 % 3 * 7 # 8 @ 2 ^ S 1 9
Letter code: Q N A X Z P T Y L W J D V
Condition:
1) 2nd, 4th → even then, write ‘Z’ [if 1 follows then write ‘z’]
2) 1st, last → odd
Then write 1st letter.
3) Odd – Odd then write V
4) Odd even odd then write Y
So,
%37#29
1) Condition 1 not follows
2) Condition 2 not follows

3) Condition 3 follows.
4) Condition 4 not follows
Rest letters or number will be compared by table.

Hence, correct answer is option 2 i.e. NVVPLV.


Example:- 2. Find code for 18%#25
→ Condition 1 not follows
→ Condition 2 follows
1𝑆
[1 1]
𝑄𝑄
→ Condition not follows
→ Condition 4 not follows
Last letters numbers or symbols will be compare by table.

Correct code is QTNPLQ


Example:-3. Find code for @985#1
Condition 1 not follows
Condition 2 not follows
Condition 3 not follows
Condition 4 follows

Hence, the correct code for @985#1 is YVYJPQ.

Type II
Question:-

Conditions:
1. If the first digit is even and the last digit is divisible by 3 then both are to be coded as X.
2. If the first, as well as the last digit, is odd then both are to be coded by the code of the first digit.
3. If the first digit is odd and the last digit is even number, the code of the first and last digit are to
be interchanged.
In case more than two conditions satisfy you are supposed to consider both conditions.
Example:- How 29548 will be coded?
Conditions

1𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡/3 → 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠


1) ⏟
𝐵𝑜𝑡ℎ 𝑤𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 ′𝑋′

2) ⏟
1𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑑𝑑 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑑𝑑 → 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠
1𝑠𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑑𝑒

3) ⏟
1𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑑𝑑 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 → 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑠
𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒

Example:-Find the code for 18537.


1st condition → Not follows
2nd condition → Follows
3rd condition → Not follows

Condition 1 not follows
Condition 2 not follows
The condition follows – Interchange

FICTITIOUS SYMBOL CODING


When words are coded in the form of symbols are known as fictitious symbol coding.
Example:- ‘Team was important’ is written as ‘#@ @# %@’
‘Important is victory’ is written as ‘#%@ %# #%’
‘Victory was achieved’ is written as ‘#% @# @%’
Then what is the code for the word ‘is’?
Solution:
‘is’ is present in the second line and the code % is also present in second-line only
So the code for ‘is’ is ‘%#’.
In the same way for other words also.
Team → #@ [Only in the first line]
Was → @# [present only is the last line]
Victory → #% [present in 2nd and 3rd line]
The word for code ‘da’, ‘phi’, ‘nic’ are ‘rule’ ‘corrupt’ and ‘king’.
As we have found codes of all words.
Type III
Find the code for ‘proposed good rule queen’.
1) su mo da gi
2) mo tic phi da

3) su ye da phi
4) mo su ye da
Solution:
Here, we have already found the code for
Proposed – ‘su’
Good – ‘mo’
Rule – ‘da’
Queen - ?
There is only one word ‘queen’ is the foreign word from all four we have to check in which option
all three codes are occurred including one foreign word.
5. Good → code for good is ‘mo’ as good occur only in last line and ‘mo’ is also occurred in last line
only.
Good → ‘mo’
6. Rule → Rule occurred in the first and second line and the code ‘da’ is also occurred in 1 st and sec-
ond line so the code for
Rule → da
7. Corrupt → occurs is in 2nd and 4th line. ‘phi’ is also in 2nd and 4th line.
Corrupt → ‘phi’
8. King → occurs in 1st line and 4th line. The code for King, ‘nic’ is also occurred in 1st and 4th line
King → nic

FICTITIOUS WORD CODING


Fictitious word coding – also called as Chinese coding. In this type of coding the given information is
coded in some fictitious words is called fictitious word coding.
Types of Question
‘King proposed strict rule’ is written as ‘su da nic ki’
‘Weak rule corrupt system’ is written as ‘phi ra tic da’
‘Good system strict desire’ is written as ‘tic gi ki mo’
‘Desire change corrupt king’ is written as ‘zo nic phi gi’
Then what will be the code for ‘proposed’?

 Useful Links

The word ‘proposed’ is only occurred in the first line and it’s not repeating in any other line so the
unique word in the first line is ‘so’ which is also not repeated in other decoding lines.
1. proposed = ‘su’
In the same way for other words
Note:
Before solving these types of questions keep some terms or places in mind
→ 1st place of the letter
→ 2nd place of the letter
→ Last place of the letter
→ Second last place of the letter
→ Middle place of letters
→ No. of letters
→ Total no. of vowel or consonant.
DIGIT CODING
It is nothing but coding analysis of alphabets used in word in the terms of the digit.
Types of questions
Type I
BALL – 14
CYCLE – 8
TAR – 38
COMMISSION - ?
Solution:
→ Calculate the position of letter
→ Find the pattern used in it
→ Apply that logic to the question
Here the logic used is first letter value + last letter value.
