Coding decoding Quiz-III
(Directions 1 – 2): Given below are the codes for the digits/symbols. Study
the conditions given below and answer the questions that follow.
Conditions:
(1) If both the left most and the right most elements are symbols, then the codes
for the first two elements get interchanged between them and the codes for the
last two elements get interchanged between them.
(2) If the left most element is a symbol and the right most element is an even
digit then the code for both will be Y.
(3) If the left most element is an odd digit and the right most element is a
symbol then the codes of these two elements got interchanged.
(4) If the left most element is an odd digit and the right most element is an even
digit then the code for both will be W.
(5) If the left most element in the group is an even digit and the right most
element is an odd digit then reverse the order of the code for the group.
1)836@497
a) PDECHFA
b) BFHCEDA
c) ADECHFB
d) XDECHFX
e) YDECHFY
Answer & Explanation
Answer –b) BFHCEDA
Solution:
It satisfies condition (5).
If the left most element in the group is an even digit and the right
most element is an odd digit then reverse the order of the code for the
group.
Hence, code for 836@497 is BFHCEDA.
2)3#%7964
a) HEFBJGD
b) WGJBFEW
c) XGJBFEX
d) HGJBFED
e) None of these
Answer & Explanation
Answer –b) WGJBFEW
Solution:
It satisfies condition (4).
If the left most element is an odd digit and the right most element is
an even digit then the code for both will be W.
Hence, code for 3#%7964 is WGJBFEW.
(Direction 3-4): Read the following information carefully and answer the
questions that follow:
In a certain code language,
“Regular fitness sound health” is coded as “J&10 X&15 X#4 P&1”
“Proove gear what times” is coded as “P@7 D#4 Z&4 J&4”
“Health problems increasing daily” is coded as “J&5 R&11 X&15 R*0”
“Wireless telephone physical group” is coded as “D&3 J#10 D*9 F&7”
3)Which of the following is the code for ‘phone call’?
a) R&5 B@12
b) R@6 B!12
c) D*6 B!11
d) D&6 B@11
e) None of these
Answer & Explanation
Logic:
Number – Subtract the position of 2nd alphabet from right end with
2nd alphabet from left end.
Symbol – Symbol is coded according to number of vowels in the
word:
#–3
@–1
*–4
!–5
&–2
Alphabet – Position of 3rd alphabet from right end. Add same
number to it to get the alphabet
Answer –d) D&6 B@11
Solution:
Hence, code for ‘phone call’ is D&6 B@11.
4)‘B#1’ is the code for which of the following?
a) Spherical
b) Physical
c) Education
d) Important
e) Cannot be determined
Answer & Explanation
Answer –d) Important
Solution:
Hence, ‘B#1’ is the code for ‘important’.
Directions (Q. 5- 7): Study the following information to answer the given
questions:
In a certain code,
“RUNG MADLY BUN JAR” is written as ‘24#G, 7%Y, 16$N, 12@R’
“JAM RAPID BUT MONKEY” is written as ‘17@M, 28#D, 10$T, 8%Y’
“MACAROON BIRR RACISM JEEP” is written as ‘21%N, 13$R,
20#M, 15@P’
“RATIO JUKE BAILEE MOD” is written as ‘17#O, 26@E, 28$E, 26%D’
5)The code for the word ‘RAN’ is
a.8%N
b.8*N
c.17#N
d.16#N
e.None of these
Answer & Explanation
Answer – d.16#N
Explanation :
RAN – 16#N
R–#
No of letters – 3+(Reverse Alphabet order of N = 13) = 16
Last letter – N
6)The code ‘26#E’ denotes which of the following word?
a.ROSE
b.REVERSE
c.RUPEE
d.RANDOM
e.None of these
Answer & Explanation
Answer – a.ROSE
Explanation :
“26#E”– ROSE
R–#
Last letter – E
No of letters – 4+(Reverse Alphabet order of E = 22) = 26
7)Which of the following is the code for “MONK”?
a.20%K
b.26%K
c.28!K
d.24!K
e.None of these
Answer & Explanation
Answer – a.20%K
Explanation :
M–%
Last letter – R
No of letters – 4+(Reverse Alphabet order of K = 16) = 20
Directions (8-10): Answer the questions based on the information given below:
In a certain language,
“mobiles are very good” is coded as “U6F K8E Z8Z V14T”
“department has vrs schemes” is coded as “N20U J14T D6T U6T”
“europe tax american scholar” is coded as “J14S I16O D6Y K12F”
“per capitals rupees orders” is coded as “K16T X12T H6S U12T”
8)How is the word “AGGRANDIZE” coded in the given language?
a) K22E
b) E20D
c) K20F
d) G20R
e) None of these
Option C
Explanation:
STEP1:
a) If the number of letters of the word is even, then first element of the code is
determined by, Number of letters of word + Alphabetical number of the first
letter of word =letter corresponding to resultant number.
b) If the number of letters of the word is odd, then first element of the code is
determined by, Number of letters of word + Alphabetical number of the second
letter of word =letter corresponding to resultant number.
STEP2: The second element of the code is twice the number of letters of that
word.
STEP3: The third element of the code is the letter succeeding last letter of the
word.
9)How is the word “BLANDISHMENT” coded in the given language?
a) B20U
b) M22U
c) N21V
d) N24U
e) None of these
Option D
10)How is the word “CIRCUMLOCUTION” coded in the given language?
a) C20U
b) N28O
c) O28Q
d) Q27U
e) Q28O
Option E
