CODING- DECODING

Coding is a process used to encrypt a word, a number in a

particular code or pattern based on some set of rules. Hence
Coding is the process of sending data from one person to another
person in such a way that only the sender and receiver can
understand the meaning without letting anyone else know the
meaning of it.

Decoding It is the reverse process of converting the coded

information back into original form understandable by a receiver.
Hence, decoding is the process of converting the coded data back
into original form by applying the process of coding but in reverse
process.
The alphabet order and EJOTY concept:
By using this concept, we can easily remember the position of different
alphabets and accordingly find out any letter without much effort. All
we have to do is remember the place of these five letters which are
mentioned below:
E→5
J → 10
O → 15
T → 20
Y → 25
TYPES OF CODING

1. Letter coding
2. Number Coding
3. Substitution coding
4. Deciphering Coding
5. Coding by combinations of letters, Nos. and Symbols
Letter Coding
In this, we are going to deal with the types of questions, in which the
letter of a word are replaced by certain other letters according to a
specific pattern/rule to form a code.

Example. In a certain code language ‘BOXER’ is written as ‘AQWGQ’.

What will be the code of ‘VISIT’ in that code language?
Solution: UKRKS

Number Coding
In this, we are going to deal with the questions, in which the numerical code
values are assigned to a word or alphabets according to predefined pattern.

Example. If ‘ACNE’ is coded as 3 7 29 11, then what will be code for ‘BOIL’
in that code language?
Solution: 5 31 19 25

5. If REQUEST is written as S2R52TU, then how will ACID be written?
A) 1DJE
B) 1C3F
C) 1D3E
D) 1D2F

6. If each of the letters in the English alphabet is assigned odd numerical
value beginning A = 1, B = 3 and so on, what will be the total value of the
letters of the word INDIAN?

A) 86
B) 88
C) 89
D) 96
7. If A = 2, M = 26, Z = 52, then BET = ?

A) 45
B) 54
C) 64

10. If in a certain code, 15789 is written as EGKPT and 2436 is written as ALUR, then
how will 24539 be written in that code?
A) ALGRT
B) ALGUT
C) ALEUT
D) ALGTU

16
Substitution Coding:
In such question, we are going to deal with the pattern of coding in which
codes are assigned by the substitution method where in an artificial
alternative is assigned to a given word and students are required to decipher
the coding pattern to substance the other given word.

Example. If yellow is called blue, blue is called red, red is called pink, pink
is called black and black is called orange, then what is the colour of blood?
Solution: We know, colour of blood = red
But according to question,
Red = pink, Therefore, the colour of blood = pink

11. If ‘cook’ is called ‘butler’, ‘butler’ is called ‘manager’, ‘manager’
is called ‘teacher’, ‘teacher’ is called ‘clerk’ and ‘clerk’ is called
‘principal’, who will teach in a class?

'shuttle' is 'Ludo' and Ludo is ‘carrom’, what is cricket played with ?
A) Football
B) Racket
C) Bat
D) Cannon

Deciphering Coding:
In these types of question, we are going to deal with a message bearing a
common code for given word/numeral. Students are required to identify
the code from the common property of word/numeral and decipher the
given codes with best alternatives.

Example. In a certain language, 'sun shines brightly' is written as ‘ba lo

sul’, 'houses are brightly lit' as ‘kado ula ariba’ and 'light comes from sun'
as ‘dopikup lo nro’. What is the code for sun and brightly?
Solution: In the first and third statements, the common word is 'sun' and
the common codeword is ‘lo’. So, ‘lo’ is the code for 'sun'. In the first and
second statements, the common word is 'brightly' and the common code
word is ‘ba’. So, ‘ba’ is the code for 'brightly'.
