Coding and Decoding Tests
Codes are used for conveying secret messages from one place to another, especially
in the defence services. These codes are based on various principles/patterns, which
are required to be deciphered by the receiver, so as to get the correct message.
Coding and decoding tests are becoming very popular in competitive examinations.
‘They call for careful observation and analytical aptitude. These tests can be broadly
classified into several Categories.
LETTERCODING
The letters of the alphabet may be used in the coding scheme. The letters to be
coded are allotted other letters to stand for them, Questions on lettercoding can be
of different types. Examples of the important ones are given below.
Analogical Lettercoding
These codes are based on the analogy given in the question itself as shown below.

© Example i ‘spTra’ stands for ‘BLADE’, how will you code
Answer ‘SIPA’.
Explanation ‘BLADE’ has been coded as ‘SPTFA’, You will see that all the
letters in the word “BALE’, which have to be coded, are also there in the word
BLADE’. Hence all that needs to be done is to choose the relevant code letters
fom the code word ‘SPTFA’, Thus, B becomes S, A becomes'T, becomes P and
E A. Therefore ‘BALE will be coded as ‘STPA*, f

Coding and Decoding Tests 8
© Example | MAILED’ is coded us ‘NBIMEE’, how will you code the
ond ‘ACTED’?
answer ‘RDUFE’
Here each letter stands for the next letter in the sequence. A becomes B, B
hecomes C, D becomes E, and so on, Therefore ‘ACTED* becomes BDUFE’. Some
commonly used patterns are given in this section.
Form 1: Forward sequence pattern
one
« Example if ‘QUIZ’ is coded as ‘RVJA', how will you code ‘CLASS"?
answer ‘DMBIT’
Explanation Q becomes R, U becomes V, E becomes J, Z becomes A. Here,
each letter is coded by the next in alphabetic sequence, with the last letter of the
alphabet ‘Z’ becoming the first, ‘A’. Therefore ‘CLASS’ will be coded ‘DMBTT’
You can use the numbered alphabet to help you to recognize the pattern. Write this
down and keep it before you while solving such questions.

% Example |. Decode the underlined letters in column | from the same row
of choices provided under column II. Each small letter in column II stands for some
capital letter in column I, However, the small letters in column II are not arranged
in the same order as their corresponding letters in column I, The code is the same
for all the items in column I

3. CMAYB wgusv
4, NGMSY saghm
5, SYNAJ mhuds
Answer G=a;B=v;C=w,;N=h,J=d
Explanation 1
i) Look at items 1 and 2 of column I ‘GMSAY’ and ‘BSMYA’.
The letters MSAY occur in both items, This means that four letters of the codes
of items 1 and 2 must be the same.
il) Look at the codes of items 1 and 2 in column II.
The letters u, g, m and s occur in both. Thus the code for ‘G’ is ‘a’ and the
code for ‘B’ is ‘v’.
it) Look at item 3 ‘CMAYB’.
‘The letters M, A, Y, and B occurred in earlier items.
Thus the code for ‘C’ must be a letter which did not appear in the earlier codes. |
‘Thus the code for ‘C’ is ‘w’.
iv) Look at item 4 NGMSY
The letters G, M, S and Y occurred in earlier items. ‘Thus the code for ‘N’ must
be a letter which did not appear in the earlier codes. A search for such a letter
leads you to *h’.
v) Look at item 5 SYNAJ
‘The letters S, Y, N and A occurred in earlier items. Thus the code for ‘J’ must
be a letter which did not appear in earlier codes, Thus the code for ‘J" is ‘d°
Explanation 2 Another quick way of solving these problems is as follo)
{) Question | requires you to find the code for 'G’, Look for G in of
find it in 4, Therefore, there must be at least one common,
letters of items 1 and 4, Write down the code letters88 Mental Ability and Quantitative Aptitude
agms
itl) “G? does not occur in items 2, 3 and 5. Therefore the code letter for «q: ni
not occur in the codes for items 2, 3 and 5. Strike out any letter that does occ,
in these items: y
agms
Thus the code for ‘G’ is ‘a’ , 7
Try following this procedure for the other items. It takes much less time th nit
seems.

You have to find out the exact code for the underlined letter in the word, The

@ Example If ‘TSEREVE’ and ‘NOITACUDE’ stand for ‘EVEREST’ and

Answer TROF DER
Explanation You must quickly recognise that the code is the reverse of the
given word. The answer is obviously TROF DER which is reverse form of ‘RED
FORT’,
% Example ‘RETSAMROAD’ and ‘MROWBOOK’ represent two well
known word groups in partially coded form. Decipher the correct forms of these
word groups.
Answer ROAD MASTER and BOOK WORM
The initial word is given second position and the second word is coded by
reversing the letters.
% Example Decipher the following coded word groups:

Coding and Decoding Tests 007
know from code 9677 that 9» F and 7 © $, Therefore 7540 = SAIL and 9546 = FAIR.
Now code 2508 is left to be deciphered which will naturally go under ‘MAIL’ as 8
js the only word left now for which a code is to be searched
Explanation II
) There is only one word with five letters—MEALS. Thus its code must be:
MEALS
28507
Therefore Answer 4 is (b)
ii) All letters of MALE are contained in MEALS (except ‘S’)
MALE
aves
Answer 3 (d)
it) SAIL
7540
Answer 2 (b)
iv) BpAgl Re
4 9546
‘Answer could be (a) or (c). But 7540 = SAIL.
Therefore the answer is 5(a) and FAI
25
vy) FU
96
Therefore the answer is 1(d).
Answers 6-10 are easy to obtain.
