Coding - Decoding/

CODING-DECODING/
The process of writing a word with the help of signs To find the opposite letter of any letter, subtract
is called coding. And the process of writing a word the corresponding number of that letter from 27.
written in symbolic language in the original word After this, find out the corresponding letter of the
is called decoding. number obtained. That letter is the opposite let-
ter of the given letter; for example-

Three types of questions are asked in this:-

Opposite of A Letter = 27 – A  27 – 1= 26  Z
1. Based on letters/
A = 27 – A 27 – 1 = 26 Z
2. Based on numbers/
Opposite of B Letter = 27 – B  27 – 2 = 25  Y
3. Mixed coding/ B = 27 – B 27 – 2 = 25 Y
To solve the questions based on letters easily, it ....................................
is necessary to have the following information:-
..................................
Opposite of Y Letter = 27 – Y  27 –25= 2  B
Y = 27 – Y 27 – 25 = 2 B

The direct sequence of the English alphabets can Opposite of Z Letter = 27 – Z  27 – 26 = 1  A

be easily remembered with the help of the word Z = 27 – Z 27 – 26 = 1 A

If any two letters of the English alphabet, whose A–Z A to Z
corresponding values or numbered values add up B–Y BOY
to 27, then those two letters are opposite letters to C–X CRAX

Serial value of the given letter + Serial value of I–R Indian – Railway
the opposite letter = 27 Serial value of the given J–Q Jungle – Queen

(a) Constant addition of the position of letters.

(b) Constant subtraction of the position of letters.

(iii) Word break coding/
(e) Constant addition and subtraction of the position F O L D N U M B E R
of all letters alternately.

(f) Square of the number of letters in the word.
