Coding – Decoding (SSC CGL 2022 Tier 1) (Part – I)

Total Questions: 49

1. In a certain code language, ‘TALKER’ is coded as ‘!@#©$%’ and ‘TALKED’ is coded as ‘$%@#!£’. What is the code for ‘D’ in that code language? [S.S.C CHSL Tier II 02/11/2023]

Correct Answer: (d) £
Solution:On comparing both words i.e. TALKER and TALKED
We find that only R and D are different.
So, code of R = © and Code of D = £

2. In a certain code language, ‘GRAPE’ is coded as 21 - 54 - 3 - 48 - 15 and ‘MELON’ is coded as 39 - 15 - 36 - 45 - 42. How will ‘PEACH’ be coded in the same language? [S.S.C CPO 05/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 48 - 15 - 3 - 9 - 24
Solution:

3. In a certain code language, ‘TRAUMA’ is coded as '36' and ‘STILL’ is coded as '30'. How will ‘OBEDIENT’ be coded in that language? [S.S.C CPO 04/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 48
Solution:(Number of letters in the given word) × 6
TRAUMA → 6 × 6 = 36
STILL → 5 × 6 = 30
Similarly,

OBEDIENT → 8 × 6 = 48

4. In a certain code language, ‘Here we go’ is coded as ‘asa te du’ and ‘We can go’ is coded as ‘du mu asa’. What is the code for the word ‘Here’? [S.S.C CPO 03/10/2023 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) te
Solution:

The code for 'Here' is 'te'.

5. PRO 5 is related to ‘OSQ 15’ in a certain way. In the same way, ‘OPO 10’ is related to ‘NQQ 30’. Which of the following is related to ‘MAC 9’ using the same logic? [S.S.C CPO 03/10/2023 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) NZA 3
Solution:

6. In a certain code language, ‘VATT’ is coded as 65 and ‘STOLK’ is coded as 79. How will ‘GENEROUS’ be coded in that language? [S.S.C CPO 03/10/2023 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (c) 106
Solution:(Sum of place value of letters) + 2
VATT → (22 + 1 + 20 + 20) + 2 ⇒ (63 + 2) = 65
STOLK → (19 + 20 + 15 + 12 + 11) + 2 ⇒ (77 + 2) = 79
Similarly,

GENEROUS → (7 + 5 + 14 + 5 + 18 + 15 + 21 + 19) + 2 ⇒ (104 + 2) = 106

7. In a certain code language, ‘HYPOCRISY’ is written as ‘YPHOCIRYS’ and ‘IMPORTANT’ is written as ‘MPIORATNT’. How will ‘INTEGRITY’ be written in that language? [S.S.C CGL 01/12/2022 (3rd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (a) NTIEGIRYT
Solution:

8. In a certain code language, ‘FUEL’ is coded as ‘50’ and ‘JEER’ is coded as ‘44’. How will ‘FARE’ be coded in that language? [S.S.C CGL 01/12/2022 (4th Shift)]

Correct Answer: (d) 36
Solution:(Sum of place value of letters + 6)
FUEL → (6 + 21 + 5 + 12) + 6 = 50
JEER → (10 + 5 + 5 + 18) + 6 = 44
Similarly,

FARE → (6 + 1 + 18 + 5) + 6 = 36

9. In a certain code language, ‘NUMERICAL’ is written as ‘ICALRNUME’ and ‘SCATTERED’ is written as ‘EREDTSCAT’. How will ‘EXPLOSION’ be written in that language? [S.S.C CGL 02/12/2022 (1st Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) SIONOEXPL
Solution:

10. In a certain code language, ‘GOLF’ is coded as ‘44’ and ‘BALL’ is coded as ‘31’. How will ‘PLAY’ be coded in that language? [S.S.C CGL 02/12/2022 (2nd Shift)]

Correct Answer: (b) 58
Solution:Sum of place value of alphabets + 4
GOLF → {(7 + 15 + 12 + 6) + 4} ⇒ (40 + 4) = 44
BALL → {(2 + 1 + 12 + 12) + 4 }⇒ (27 + 4) = 31
Similarly,

PLAY → {(16 + 12 + 1 + 25) + 4} ⇒ (54 + 4) = 58
