Coding and Decoding form an important part of the quantitative analysis section. In the following section, we will
see examples of various forms of coding. We will see the letter-letter coding, the Number Coding, Symbol Coding,
Number-Letter mixed coding. We will introduce techniques and tricks that will help you solve any question within a
minute.
The coding questions will provide you with some information that is in code form. This information can be decoded
using the key that is present either within the question or within the options. Here we will start with the first type
or the letter coding. Let us begin!
Letter Coding
This is the code that is derived on the basis of alphabets. usually, the position of alphabets is used. For example, let
us see the following question.
Example 1: In some language, “EXAM” is coded as “FYBN”. In the same language, how will we code “RESULT”?
Answer: The first step is to detect the code. For that, we need to focus on the word EXAM. The first letter E in code
is F, similarly the code for X is Y, for A it is B and for M it is N. Thus we see that in this language the alphabet is
shifted to one step to the front. Thus the code for R will be S and hence the correct option here is A) SFTVMU.
Number Coding
Example 2: In a certain code, “Delhi is capital” is coded as “7 5 9”. The sentence “capital are beautiful” is coded as
“3 6 9”, and “Delhi is beautiful” is coded as “6 7 5”. Also “Patna also capital‟ is coded as “9 2 4”. What is the code
for “beautiful” in this code?
A) 2 B) 4 C) 5 D) 6 E) 7
Answer: To solve codes like these remember the order of the numbers may be anything. For example, in “Delhi is
capital” and “Delhi is beautiful”, we can see that the words “Delhi is” are common and thus we can see that capital
is 9 and beautiful is 6. Therefore the correct option here is D) 6.
Answer: Let us see if we can figure it out word for word. We already know that the code for beautiful is 6. From
the code “Delhi is beautiful” as “6 7 5” we see that “is” may be represented by 7 or 5. If we take a look at the
code “Delhi is capital” which is present as “7 5 9”, we notice that we can’t get the code for “is” as the data is not
sufficient. So the correct option is E) Data Insufficient.
Symbol Coding
In the symbol coding, we use the symbols like “!@#$%^&*()_”, to represent words or letters. These codes are then
used to determine a code for the words that are written down. Let us see an example.
Answer: In the code, we can see that the code for L is @. Building on to that we can see that the option B)
*?%&@$# is the correct option.
Miscellaneous Examples
Example 4: In the following, a certain code is given. According to this code, “before West to mailing” is written as
“ad mi ja no”, “the West to Himalaya” is written as “ku ja ig ad”. Also “mailing of the layout” is written as “be ku zo
mi” and “to should of changes” is written as “be Ii ya ja”.
A) be B) Ii C) ya D) ja E) Data insufficient
Answer: To solve these types of questions, a table may come in handy. Check for the two sentences that have the
most number of similar words. Let us put all the terms in the table and see if we can get the correct answer or not.
Let us see what “to” is coded as:
The two have ony one code in common. This means that the relation can’t be determined. Thus the option is E)
Data insufficient.
Example 5: In a certain code, we write the word “SUSHI” as “RTRGH”. How ill you write the sentence ” Who are
you” in it?

DIRECTION TEST
Concept of distance
Important Thinks to Remember
1. At the time of Sunrise if a man stands facing the east, his shadow will be towards west.
2. At the time of sunset the shadow of an object is always in the east.
3. If a man stands facing the North, at the time of sunrise his shadow will be towards his left and
at the time of sunset it will be towards his right.
4. At 12.00 noon, the rays of the sun are vertically downward hence there will be no shadow.
Example -1: I am facing East. Turning to the right I go 20 m, then turning to the left I go 20 m and
turning to the right I go 20 m, then again turning to the right I go 40 m and then again I go 40 m to the
right. In which direction am I from my original position?
Ans- WEST
Example-2 : Seema started early in the morning on the road towards the Sun. After some time
she turned to her left. Again after some time she turned to her right. After moving some distance
she again turned to her right and began to move. At this time, in what direction was she moving?
Ans: South
DIRECTION TEST
Example-3: At dusk, Rohit started walking facing the sun. After a while, he met his friend and
both turned to their left. They halted for a while and started moving by turning again to their
right. Finally Rohit waved 'good bye' to his friend and took a left turn at a corner. At which
direction is Rohit moving now?
Ans: South
Example-4: Sumi ran a distance of 40 m towards South. She then turned to the
right and ran for about 15 m, turned right again and ran 50 m. Turning to right
then ran for 15 m. Finally she turned to the left an angle of 45° and ran. In which
direction was she running finally?
Ans: North-West
DIRECTION TEST
Example 5 : Krishna is going to a local market place for grocery. He has taken his cycle and
from home started moving to north. He went for 10 km. After that he turned 90 degrees to his
left-hand side and cycled for 6 km. After that he again moved 90 degree to his left-hand side
and cycled for 18 km. Now he has reached the market place. What is distance between
Krishna’s home and market place and he is in which direction from his home?
A) North- west ,15Km B) North- West,12Km
C) South-west, 10Km D) South – East,10Km
Ans- C
The distance between Krishna’s house and the market place can be found out by using
Pythagoras theorem 82 + 62 = 102. The direction in which Krishna is standing is south-west
direction from his home. First he cycled towards north for 10 km and he turned towards his left-
hand side and after that he turned his left-hand side and walked for 18 km. so finally he is in
south-west direction because by walking 18 km he has surpassed his 10 km. So the correct
answer is option C.

SYLLOGISM
Syllogism is a kind of logical argument that applies deductive reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based
on two or more propositions that are asserted or assumed to be true. In a form, defined by Aristotle, from
the combination of a general statement and a specific statement, a conclusion is deduced.
Syllogism is one of the most important and interesting topics in Reasoning and Solving Syllogism is
always fun if you understand the shortcuts.
The first step is to make a Venn diagram. Second step is deriving the conclusion. Let’s go to all
possible concepts. (Concepts = Statements)
CONCEPT 1 Some A is B.
CONCEPT 3 – All A is B
The Diagram is,
IMPORTANT NOTE : WHEN THE STATEMENTS ARE POSITIVE, THE CONCLUSIONS MUST BE POSITIVE.
……………………….Some C is B
There is no DIRECT CONNECTION between A and C. So it is not possible to derive any conclusion
between A and C.
SYLLOGISM
Concept 7 – All B is A and All C is A
Concept 8 – No A is B
A B
————————————–Some C is not A
Concept 11 – Some A is B; No B is C
Note: In all the above, the conclusions are made based on the statements. There in only one case
where the conclusions are determined based on the conclusion itself. It is called as Merging Concept.
MERGING CONCEPT
This concept is applicable when more than one conclusion does not follows.
Rules:
Example 1:
Two conclusions are false. And Both are same Characters (Lilly and Flower). One is Positive and
one is negative. It satisfies all the rules of Merging Concept.
Example 2
Conclusion 1 : Some Statues are Radios (It is false) (No direct relation between Statue and Radio)
Conclusion 2: No Radio is a Statue (It is False) (It is a negative conclusion) (When statements are
positive, conclusions must be positive).
POSSIBILITY
Whenever the term “Possibility” OR “Can” comes in Conclusion, We need to check this simple
table.
Statements:
Some Mangoes are Apples; Some Bananas are Apples; Some Branches are Bananas
Conclusions:
Conclusion 2: No relation between Branches and Apples. “Possibility” is there. (Chk Table) (It is
True)
Conclusion 4: Between Apples and Mangoes “Some” can come. “Possibility is there” (Check Table).
It is also true.
Important Rules:
Draw Venn Diagrams(Basic Diagram & Possibility Diagram) according to the Statement.
If the conclusion does not satisfy the Basic Diagram then there is no need to check the
possibility diagrams.
If the conclusion satisfies the Basic Diagram then it must satisfy all possibility diagrams.
The first Venn diagram in all images shown below are Basic Diagrams & remaining are
Possibility Diagrams.
All A are B:
Some A are B:

A Venn diagram, also called primary diagram, set diagram or logic diagram, is
a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets.
... A Venn diagram consists of multiple overlapping closed curves, usually circles, each
representing a set.
The main aim of this section is to test your ability about the relation between some items of a
group by diagrams. In these questions some figures of circles and some words are given. You
have to choose a figure which represents the given words.
If all the words are of different groups, then they will be shown by the diagram as given below.
All these three are animals but of different groups, there is no relation between them. Hence
they will be represented by three different circles.
Example 2:
If the first word is related to second word and second word is related to third word. Then they
will be shown by diagram as given below.
Ten units together make one Tens or in one tens, whole unit is available and ten tens together
make one hundreds.
Logical and Venn Diagram
Example 3:
If two different items are completly related to third item, they will be shown as below.
Example 4:
If there is some relation between two items and these two items are completely related to a third
item they will be shown as given below.
Some sisters may be mothers and vice-versa. Similarly some mothers may not be sisters and
vice-versa. But all the sisters and all the mothers belong to women group.
Example 5:
Two items are related to a third item to some extent but not completely and first two items totally
different.
The boys and girls are different items while some boys may be students. Similarly among girls
some may be students.
Logical and Venn Diagram
Example 6:
All the three items are related to one another but to some extent not completely.
Some boys may be students and vice-versa. Similarly some boys may be athletes and vice-
versa. Some students may be athletes and vice-versa.
Example 7:
Two items are related to each other completely and third item is entirely different from first two.
Example 8:
First item is completely related to second and third item is partially related to first and second
item.
All the dogs are belonging to animals but some dogs are flesh eater but not all.
Example 9:
First item is partially related to second but third is entirely different from the first two.
Some dogs are flesh-eaters but not all while any dog or any flesh-eater cannot be cow.
