Worked practice questions

If MYSTIFY is coded as NZTUJGZ, how is letter A coded in this rule?

  1. B
  2. Z only
  3. Y only
  4. A only
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. B

1. The chapter Case 1 explains: each letter +1. 2. M to N, Y to Z, S to T, T to U etc. 3. So A -> B by the same +1 shift. 4. Hence option A. _Source: jkchrome.com SSC Coding-Decoding PDF (Mistral OCR), Case 1, Letter Coding_

In a code, CAT = 3-1-20 (position numbers). What is the code for DOG?

  1. 3-15-7 only
  2. 4-15-7
  3. 4-14-8 only
  4. 5-15-7 only
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 4-15-7

1. Number coding: replace each letter by its position in A-Z. 2. D=4, O=15, G=7. 3. So DOG = 4-15-7. 4. Hence option A. _Source: jkchrome.com SSC Coding-Decoding PDF (Mistral OCR), Type 2 Number Coding_

Coding-Decoding tests the candidate's ability to detect

  1. The number of vowels in words
  2. The frequency of letters in English
  3. The hidden rule between word and code
  4. The grammar of the sentence
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The hidden rule between word and code

1. The chapter introduction lists the skills tested. 2. Coding-Decoding is about spotting the rule. 3. Hence option A. _Source: jkchrome.com SSC Coding-Decoding PDF (Mistral OCR), section on Approach_
