Teaching Note 3 Coding Decoding

Coding – Decoding is a method of encrypting a message before transmitting it to

someone, which no third person can understand without knowing the key. Decoding is
the process of (interpreting) deciphering the coded pattern and reverting it to its original
form from the given codes.

Difference between Encoding & Decoding.

Encoding is the process of translating data between two formats according to a set of
rules or a formula. For example, you can encode "abc" to "ABC" using lowercase-to-
uppercase rules. Decoding is the inverse process.

The questions based on 'Coding and Decoding' are frequently asked in IBPS Tests.

Classification of ‘Coding and Decoding’ questions is as follows:

Letter Coding
Substitution
Mixed Letter Coding
Mixed Number Coding
Miscellaneous
...
Smart approach to solving 'Coding-Decoding' questions
Observe alphabets or numbers given in the question.
Try to find the pattern or sequence it follows. They could be in ascending or descending
order, arranged in an alternate fashion and other ways as well. ...
Figure out the rule followed by the given arrangement of alphabets/numbers/words.
Basic points you need to remember before solving any question of this topic.
Alphabets’ positions (A=1, B=2,……,Y=25, Z=26)
Opposite position of alphabet (A=26, B=25,……, Z=1)
Opposite of each alphabet (A is opposite to Z, B is opposite to Y and so on)
Letter coding:
In this type of questions, the alphabets in a word are replaced by other alphabets
according to a specific rule.
For instance: In a certain code, “PARKING” is written as “RYTIKLI”. How
will FLOWERS be written in that code?
Explanation: Find out the pattern by comparing the 1st letter of PARKING with the 1st
letter of RYTIKLI.
We observe that P is converted to R. R is two positions after P.
Now A is converted to Y. So, we can conclude that A is two positions before Y.
So, PARKING is coded as +2 and -2 alphabets in an alternate manner.
Using the same logic, we can decode flowers
F – (+2) – H
L – (-2) – J, as so on
The correct answer is ‘HJQUHPQ’.
SUBSTITUTION:
In such questions, names/words are substituted with different names/words. We have to
carefully trace the substitution to arrive at the correct answer.
For instance: If ‘Parrot’ is known as ‘Peacock’, ‘Peacock’ is known as ‘Swallow’,
‘Swallow’ is known as ‘Pigeon’, ‘Pigeon’ is known as ‘Sparrow’, what would be the name
of the national bird?
Explanation: We know ‘peacock’ is the national bird. But in the given question,
‘Peacock’ is coded as ‘Swallow’. So ‘Swallow’ is the correct answer.
MIXED LETTER CODING:
In this type of question, three-four phrases are given in coded language and the code
for a particular word is asked.
To solve such questions, any two phrases with a common word are picked up. The
common code word will refer to that word. Proceeding in a similar manner, all possible
combinations of two phrases are selected and a common code is picked up.
Example : In a certain code language,
‘new banking system ’means ‘ss tp na’
‘officer in uniform ’means ‘or mu at’
‘new bank officer ’means ‘or bk na’
‘systems in bank ’means ‘ bk at ss’
What is the code for ‘in’?
Explanation: In statements (2) and (4), the common code word is ‘in’ and the common
code is ‘at’.
What does the code ‘bk’ standS for?
Explanation: In statements (3) and (4), the common code word is ‘bk’ and the common
word for that is ‘bank’.
MIXED NUMBER CODING:
In this type of questions, numbers are given corresponding to phrases. Following the
same rule as in the above case, we can easily find out the answer. Selecting two
phrases at a time, you have to find out the number code for each word and then arrive
at the correct answer.
Example
In a certain code,
‘467’ means ‘leaves are green’,
‘485’ means ‘green is good’
‘639’ means ‘they are paying’.
What is the number code for ‘leaves’?
Explanation: In statements 1 and 3, the common word is ‘green’ and the common
number is ‘4’. So, ‘4’ is for ‘green’. Now, in statements 1 and 2, ‘are’ is common and ‘6’is
common. So, ‘6’ stands for ‘are’.

In statement 1, only ‘leaves’ and ‘7’ are remaining, therefore ‘leaves’ corresponds to ‘7’.
