CODING-DECODING
Coding-Decoding is a process of conversion of original word or
Number or sentence or collection of character into some other form by
following certain logic or rule. The resultant is known as code. Coding -
Decoding is an aid to check the candidate’s ability to understand the
logic that converts into code, a particular message and to read the
message.
Important Rules About CODING-DECODING:
1. Positions of Alphabets in English Alphabetical Series
Position of Alphabets Left to Right:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P

Q R S T U V W X Y Z
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
Position of Alphabets Right to Left:
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J
26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
Note – If the sum of two letters are 27 then both letters are
opposite to each other.
With the help of above two words, we can find out the position of
every letter with in a second.
A « Z (A Zad) H « S (High School)
B « Y (B o Y) I « R (Indian Railway)
C « X (CraX) J « Q (Jungle - Queen)
D « W (DeW) K « P (KanPur)
E « V (E.Ven) L « O (LOve)
F « U (FUll) M « N (MaN)
G « T (G T road)
With the help of above trick, we can get the opposite letter of any
letter.

LETTER CODING
Positions of Alphabets in English Alphabetical Series and
Opposite letter are very important to analyse the Questions.
 Take the given pair.
 Write the position of all letters in the given pair.
 Try to find the relation between the letters of both part of pair.
 Relation may be related in forward or backward order.
 Implement the same relation on the given word for required
answer.
Pattern Used in Coding- Decoding:

www.mahendraguru.com
 www.mahendraguru.com
We divide Letter Coding in Two Parts:
1. EVEN WORD

2. ODD WORD

NOTE – (1) If CHAIRS is coded as VCXXWN and ABOVES is coded

as JWVXJA. How EVERYO written in that code?

In Even Word, we divide the word in two parts and then we check Logic
and Pattern used in Coding.

(2) If TEACHER is coded as ZVGXIVS. How is RECHARD written in

that code?

www.mahendraguru.com
 www.mahendraguru.com

In Odd Word, we divide the word with the middle letter and then we
check Logic and Pattern used in Coding.

(1) If TEACHER is coded as XYWTJAJ. How is RECHARD written in

that code?
1. JAJTWYA 2. WYXTJAJ
3. TXYWJAJ 4. XYWJAJT
5. XYWTJAJ
