Example(1-3) Study the following So, this was the pattern.

Now we solve the

information carefully and answer the questions.
questions given below:
Answer 1: B
In a certain code language
‘given time simple plan’ is written as ‘@E4 Solution:
&N4 %N5 #E6’
We have to ‘translate’ code. As we can see
‘tired solution plant great’ is written as ‘#N8
that this word is not given in any steps but so
@D5 %T5 &T5’
we can solve it.
‘sick point good turn’ is written as ‘#K4 Step I: first we will count the letters of that
%D4 @N4 &T5’ word that is 9, then we put the digit 9 at the
‘garden sister phone team’ is written as right end.
‘&E5 #R6 %N6 @M4’ Step II: we will put the last letter of that word
then it will like- E9
1. Which of the following code for Step III: at the last step ‘t’ is coded for
‘translate’? ‘@’(the first letter of each word is coded by a
A. @E8 B. @E9 C. #E8 D. #T8 E. #T9 specific symbol like here ‘t’ is coded for ‘@’.
We can find the first coded symbol by looking
2. Which of the following code for ‘plan’? at the other given words. The answer will be
A. %N5 B. @E4 C. &N4 D. #E6 E. None of - @E9
these
Answer 2: C
3. In the given code language, what does
the code ‘%D4’? Solution:
A. point
We have to find the code of the ‘plan’. Now
B. Turn C. Sick D. good E. None of these
the same steps follow. A plan is given in the
first step. The total count of letters is 4 and
How to Solve this Coding-Decoding:
the last letter is N and ‘p’ is coded as &
Here are some points to keep in mind when
So, the final answer will be- &N4
we solve these kinds of questions-
Answer 3: D
As we all know there is always a concept
behind this which we need to find out. Solution:
Looking at the questions, we can see that in
all the steps, all 4 words start with the same We have given ‘%D4’ and we have to find it's

Now we can see that their code words end Example (4-8): Consider the following

are the total number of letters for each word. We will analyze this problem in detail after
that.
Now we can see the middle codeword is the
last letter of that particular word.
In a certain code language “&3d @6l *5n %7p”
“login BYJU'S Exam Prep and scroll” is “scroll for sbi exam” is written as “@6l @3i
written as “&3d @6l *5n %7p” $3r #4m”
“scroll for sbi exam” is written as “@6l
@3i $3r #4m” i.e. scroll is common in both statements, so
“study exam related notes” is written as we look for the common code in these two
“#4m @5y !7d =5s” statements, which is @6I.
“read notes get job” is written as “+3b !4d
=5s %3t” Similarly, From statements 2 and 3
“scroll for sbi exam” is written as “@6l @3i
4. Which of the following code is for $3r #4m”

5. According to the above information, “study exam related notes” is written as

A. Study B. Exam C. Related D. notes E. “read notes get job” is written as “+3b !
read 4d =5s %3t”

Now scroll = @6l, exam = #4m, notes = =5s

6. What will be the code for “exam

IMPORTANT: In this question, the short clue “reads article study there” is coded as “@6i

as it is in code. “comment about yours doubt” is coded as
“$4u @4o %6m #4u”
As per this information, “get clear exams enjoy” is coded as “@4e

Coding-Decoding. So, the numbering given in the code is 1 less
than the number of letters given in the word.
But we cannot comment on the English letter
given in the code.

From 2 statement coding, we can see that statement 3, so for second place code is @,

number of letters in the word. So, article = in which you have to code according to the
@6i above coding method.

Now we will try to derive the English letter
which is given in the coding statement.
#2n = and, @6d = Gradeup, @6i = article,
hence letter in coding is the middle letter of
the word.
Next, Both BYJU'S Exam Prep and article
are at serial number 2 in the statement and
both have @ coding. AND is at serial no.3 in
the statement, so # = 3
Hence we have decided on this coding.
study is at first place in the statement, so the
code is %4u.
Gradeup is at second place in the statement,
so the code is @6d.
clear is at third place in the statement, so the
code is #4e.
exams are at fourth place, so the code
is $4a.

So, we can say that,

numbers in code = total no. of the letter in
a word – 1
Special characters are serial no. of words,
% = 1, @ = 2, # = 3 and $ = 4
English letter in code is the middle letter
of the word.

Important: If you have seen it carefully, you

can check that all numbers in codes are even
and the letters of words in the statement are
odd. So we can say that there is some
addition or subtraction in the number of
letters of a word.

Answer 9 (B): exams are in statement 4 at

third place, so for third place code is #, no. of
letters in exams is 5, so numerical code is (5-
1) = 4 and the middle letter of the word is a.
So the code for it is #4a.

Answer 10 (B): The study is in statement 3

at third place, so for third place code is #; no.
of letters are 5, so numerical code is (5-1) = 4
