CODING - DECODING

Coding-Decoding is a secret language, which is

used to change the representation of the actual
terms or value of given words/letters/digits. The
language of coding-decoding can be of different
types.
Example. (3) In a certain language TWENTY is
Example (1) In a certain language CLERK is written
written as 863985 and ELEVEN is written as
as EOIWQ. How is TABLE written in that code?
323039. How is TWELVE written in that code?
(1) VCDNG (2) VCDGN

Sol. (3):
Sol. (4):

Similarly,
Here, according to equation (I) and (II),
two letters E and N are common and the
place value of E and N is 3 and 9. So the
place value of other letters will be as
follow : T = 8, W = 6, E = 3, N = 9, T = 8, Y =
Example (2) In a certain language TRIPPLE is 5, L = 2, V = 0. Then, TWELVE = 863203.
written as SQHOOKB. How is DISPOSE written in Example (4) In a certain language ROPE is
that code? written as %57$, DOUBT is written as
(1) CHROMRD (2) CHROMSD 35#8* and LIVE is written as @24$. How is

(3) CHRONRD (4) CHROORD TROUBLE written in that code?

Sol. (3): (1) *%5#8@$ (2) *%#58@$

(3) *%5#8@4 (4) *%#58$@

Sol. (1):

Therefore,
Similarly,
Example (5) In a certaing language ‘torn kun sud’ (ii) If both first and the last letters are
means ‘dogs are barking’, ‘kun jo mop’ means consonants, both are to be coded ‘d’
‘dogs and horses’ and ‘mut torn ko’ means (iii) If first letter is a consonant and last is a vowel
‘donkeys are mad’, Which word in that language the codes for first and last letters are to be
means ‘barking’? interchanged.
(1) sud (2) kun (i) ELBGPU
(3) hi (4) torn (1) $821@© (2) ©821@$
Sol. (1): In the first and second statements, the (3) $821©@ (4) $812@©
common code-word is kun’ and the common word (ii) UHRKLZ
is ‘dogs’. So ‘kun’ means ‘dogs’.
(1) ©*758© (2) ©*758#
In first and third statements, the common
(3) #*758# (4) $%3462
code­word is torn’ and the common word is ‘are’.
(iii) BF1DWE
So, ‘torn’ means ‘are’. Thus in the first statement,
(1) 2%346$ (2) %3426$
‘sud’ means barking’.
(3) $%3426 (4) $2%634
Example (6) If ‘cages’ are called ‘rockets’, ‘rockets’
(iv) WKGLBA
are called ‘traps’, ‘traps’ are called ‘planets’,
‘planets’ are called ‘aeroplanes’, aeroplanes’ are (1) 951862 (2) 651829

called ‘cycles’ and ‘cycles’ are cabled cars’, what is (3) 651892 (4) 951826

Earth? (v) ZEFHIR

(1) cycles (2) rockets (1) #$%*37 (2) d$%*3d

(3) planet (4) aeroplanes (3) 7$%*3# (4) #%$*37

Sol. (4): Earth is a ‘planet’ and here planets’ are

called ‘aeroplanes’. So ‘earth’ will be called
aeroplane.
