Coding-Decoding and Reasoning - Explained
Q1. In a certain code 'MISSIONS' is written as 'MSIISNOS'. How is 'ONLINE' written in that code?
Look at how 'MISSIONS' becomes 'MSIISNOS'.
Original: M I S S I O N S
Code: M S I I S N O S
Pattern: 1st stays, 2nd & 3rd swapped, and similar pattern continues.
Apply same to ONLINE:
O N L I N E -> O L N I N E
Answer: (a) OLNINE
Q2. How is 'URDU' written in the same code as 'ROAR' is written as 'XUGX'?
Check changes: R->X (+6), O->U (+6), A->G (+6), R->X (+6)
Apply same on URDU:
U->A, R->X, D->J, U->A
Answer: AXJA -> (d)
Q3. In a certain code 'LIMCA' is written as 'HJLDZ'.
Letter shifts: L->H (-4), I->J (+1), M->L (-1), C->D (+1), A->Z (-1)
Pattern: -4, +1, -1, +1, -1
Q4. If LOSE = 1357 and GAIN = 2468, what do the figures 615 and 204 stand for?
Mapping: L=1, O=3, S=5, E=7, G=2, A=4, I=6, N=8
615 = ILS -> (a)
204 -> 0 is invalid -> (d) None

Q5. If DELHI = 73541 and CALCUTTA = 82589662, how is CALICUT coded?
Mapping: C=8, A=2, L=5, I=9, U=6, T=2
CALICUT = 8259862 -> (a)
Q6. In a certain code, '134' means 'good and tasty', '478' means 'see good pictures', '729' means 'pictures are
Only '8' is exclusive to '478'. So 'see' = 8 -> (c)
Q7. In a certain code language: 'na tim mon' means 'water is life'; 'jo tim tom' means 'give me life'; 'na tom so
'tim' is common in both -> 'life'
'na' is in 1st & 3rd -> 'water'
Left: 'mon' = 'is' -> (c)
Q8. If ROSE is 6821, CHAIR is 73456, PREACH is 961473, what is SEARCH?
Break down letters: S=2, E=8, A=2, R=1, C=4, H=6
SEARCH -> 282146 -> (d)
Q9. Which of the following words is written as FWJBP?
Needs pattern or reverse check (no exact explanation here, skipped in example).
Q10. 'ENCRYPT' is 'VMXIBKG', how is 'ARC'?
Mapping or Caesar shift needed (skipped detailed explanation in this one).
