Coding-Decoding

Concept Explanation with Examples


Introduction
• Coding-Decoding is a reasoning concept
where a word, number, or message is coded in
a particular pattern, and candidates must
decode the logic.

• It is commonly asked in competitive exams to


test analytical and reasoning skills.
Types of Coding-Decoding
• 1. Letter Coding
• 2. Number Coding
• 3. Substitution Coding
• 4. Mixed Coding
• 5. Conditional Coding
Letter Coding
• In this type, words are coded using letters by
shifting/alphabetical pattern.

• Example:
• If 'CAT' is coded as 'DBU', what is 'DOG' coded
as?
• Solution:
Number Coding
• Here, numbers are assigned to letters or
words.

• Example:
• If 'ACE' is coded as 135, 'BDF' is coded as?
• Solution:
Substitution Coding
• Words are substituted with other words.

• Example:
• If 'blue' means 'green', 'green' means 'red',
then what does 'blue sky' mean?
• Solution:
Mixed Coding
• In this type, multiple codes are given in
jumbled form.

• Example:
• 'RAM is tall' = 'ka pe so'
• 'RAM is strong' = 'so ka me'
• Identify code for 'tall'.
• Solution: 'tall' →
Conditional Coding
• In this type, certain conditions are applied to
code the words.

• Example:
• If vowels are coded as next letters and
consonants as previous letters:
• CODE →
