Coding Decoding Practice Quiz 8

shape Introduction

A CODE is a ‘system of signals’ . Therefore, coding is a method of transmitting a message between the sender and the receiver without a third person knowing it. Coding and Decoding test is set up to judge the candidate’s ability to decipher the rule that codes a particular word/ message and break the code to decipher the message. The article Coding Decoding Practice Quiz 8 provides information about Coding Decoding, a important topic of Reasoning Consists of different types Coding Decoding questions with solutions useful for candidates preparing for different competitive examinations like RRB, RRB ALP/Technical Exams/Junior Engineer Recruitment Exams, SSC CGL,SSC CHSL, IBPS, SBI PO, SBI Clerks, CAT and etc.

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation -

2. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
AMETHI is coded as BNGUKO,

JAIS is coded as LBOW,

STATE is coded as,

So, the correct answer is option B.
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -

Hence, the correct response is (B).
4. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Assign the numbers to alphabets as in the alphabetic order like
A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 so on
Hence animal would be 1 + 14 + 9 + 13 + 1 + 12 = 50
Hence, option (D) is the correct response.
5. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
The words are coded by adding +1 to the next letter
B + 1 = C
L + 2 = N
A + 1 = B
C + 2 = E and so on.
So for CHILDREN we can have C+1=D
H + 2 = J
I + 1 = J
L + 2 = N
D + 1 = E
R + 2 = T
E + 1 = F
N + 2 = P
Hence, option (B) is the correct response.
1. If C is coded 3, DASH is coded as 32, then DANCE will be coded as
    A. 20 B. 25 C. 26 D. 27 E. None of these

2. In a certain code language, "PLATE" is written as "32876" and "BLEND" is written as "52694". How is "DENTED" written in that code language?

    A. 19 B. 38 C. 74 D. 48 E. None of these

5. In a certain code language, "SCENE" is written as "TBFMF". How is "TRAIN" written in that code language?
    A. UQBHO B. OHBQU C. UQCHO D. HOBQU E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
The words here are coded according to their positions in alphabetical series.
Hence sum up the number codes of each alphabet
D - 4
A – 1
N – 14
C – 3
E – 5
Hence the sum is 27
Hence, the correct response is option (D).
2. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
As,
P = 3
L = 2
A = 8
T = 7
E = 6
B = 5
N = 9
D = 4
Thus DENTED can be coded as 469764.
Hence, the option (C) is the correct response.
3. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
As,
H = 4
A = 0
U = 1
N = 3
T = 5
E = 9
D = 2
R = 7
I = 6
G = 8
Thus HINGE can be coded as 46389.
4. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
As,
32 & 45 → 3 + 2 = 5; 4 + 5 = 9; 5 × 9 = 45,
42 & 73 → 4 + 2 = 6; 7 + 3 = 10; 6 × 10 = 60,
Similarly,
62 & 24 → 6 + 2 = 8; 2 + 4 = 6; 8 × 6 = 48
Thus 62 & 24 is equal to 48.
5. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
S + 1 = T
C - 1 = B
E + 1 = F
N - 1 = M
E + 1 = F
So in the same manner we can code TRAIN.
T + 1 = U
R - 1 = Q
A + 1 = B
I - 1 = H
N + 1 = O
So it’s UQBHO
Hence, option A is the correct response.
1. In a certain code language, "FIRMLY" is written as "TKHWJK". How is "PUBLIC" written in that code language?
    A. DOXRAG B. DWRAGJ C. DQRAGK D. DWRAHJ E. None of these

2. If BLACKSMITH is coded as CNBELUNKUJ, then CHILDREN will be coded as ?
    A. DIJMESFO B. DJJNETFP C. DJINETEP D. DJJNETEP E. None of these

3. In a certain code language, “RENTED” is written as “718314” and “ SCARF” is written as”92576”. How is “CARTED” written in that code language?
    A. 257314 B. 962514 C. 237614 D. 759613 E. None of these

4. In a certain code language “FLUORENE” is written as “43168757” and “ELONGATE” is written as “73652907”. How will “NEUTRAL” be written in that code language?
    A. 5710893 B. 5710823 C. 5718693 D. 5710892 E. None of these

5. If in a certain language, POPULAR is coded as QPQVMBS, which word would be coded as GBNPVT?
    A. FOSAUM B. FAMOSU C. FAMOUS D. FASOUM E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
There are 26 alphabets in English and if we give assign to each and every alphabet starting from ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C etc. , it will appear to be:
A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4……. likewise, till Z = 26
F + 2 = H, M - 2 = K
I +2 = K, L - 2 = J
R + 2 = T, Y - 2 = W
Therefore ‘FIRMLY’ is coded as ‘TKHWJK’ by dividing it into two part of ‘FIR’ and ‘MLY’ and coding it in reverse order i.e. ‘RIF’ at first and ‘YLM’ in second part.
Likewise,
P + 2 = R, L - 2 = J
U + 2 = W, I - 2 = G
B + 2 = D, C - 2 = A
Making it as ‘DWRAGJ’.
Hence the correct answer is option B
2. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
The words are coded by adding +1 to the next letter
B + 1 = C
L + 2 = N
A + 1 = B
C + 2 = E and so on.
So for CHILDREN we can have C+1=D
H + 2 = J
I + 1= J
L + 2 = N
D + 1 = E
R + 2 = T
E + 1 = F
N + 2 = P
3. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Alphabet R E N T D S C A F
Code 7 1 8 3 4 9 2 6

Therefore, CARTED will be coded as: 257314
Hence, the correct option is A
4. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
As,
F = 4,
L = 3,
U = 1,
O = 6,
R = 8,
E = 7,
N = 5,
G = 2,
A = 9,
T = 0
Thus code for “NEUTRAL” is “5710893”.
5. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
G -1 = F
B -1 = A
N -1 = M
P -1 = O
V -1 = U
T -1 = S
