SSC CGL Reasoning – Coding Decoding

What is Coding Decoding?

Coding is an important type of reasoning question that is asked in competitive exams like SSC CGL. In this section, codes will be used to designate or represent a word and we need to identify the pattern of the code. Some logic will be there behind each coding.

Types of Coding-Decoding

The various types of coding and decoding are as follows:

  • Coding using letters
  • Number Coding
  • Coding by substitution
  • Mixed letter coding
  • Mixed number coding etc

Coding Using Letters

In letter coding questions, each alphabet will be replaced by another alphabet.  This replacement will be based on one rule. For example, replacing every alphabet with its next alphabet i.e. B for A, C for B like that.

Number Coding

In number coding, the alphabet will be replaced by numbers. Questions will contain a word and its numerical representation, and we will have to identify the representation of another word using the same logic that is used for the given one.

Coding by Substitution

In this type, a word or object will be substituted with another word. For example, sand for pen and pen for sand and question will be what we use to write.

Mixed Letter Coding

In Mixed letter coding, three or four sentences will be coded in a particular manner and we will be asked to identify the code for a particular word that is there in any one of the sentences.

Mixed Number Coding

In mixed number coding, some sentences will be coded with numbers, and by considering all the sentences we have to identify a certain word.

Tips to Solve Coding-Decoding Questions

  • Letter positions as per English Alphabet Series: (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4…….Y=25, Z=26). To learn this, remember a shortcut for the position of letters i.e. EJOTY where E=5, J=10, O=15, T=20 & Y=25)
  • Letter positions as per reverse English Alphabet Series (A=26, B=25, C=24 …., Z=1)
  • The corresponding letter of each letter i.e., the pair of letters at the same distance from the start and end of the English Alphabet Series (A is opposite to Z; B is opposite to Y, and C is opposite to X and so on)
