Let’s do some practice questions:
Example 1: In a certain code, GOAL is coded as HPBM, in the same way BEAR is coded as:

a. SBFC b. FSBC c. CFBS d. BFSC

Solution:

Analyse the word and its code and try to find out the relation between letters of the
basic word and coded word.
After analysing, you will find that each letter of the coded word is one place ahead of

its corresponding letter in basic word.
G O A L Similarly, B E A R

H P B M C F B S

Therefore, option c is correct.
Example 2: In a certain code language, EASY is written as ‘5117’. In the same code language,
how will ‘BEAM’ be written?

a. 4512 b. 2514 c. 4567 d. 2513

Solution: Remember this table:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

EASY Æ E is the 5th alphabet in the series

A is the first alphabet in the series
S is the 19th alphabet, which makes it (1+9 = 10 Æ 1+0 = 1)

Y is the 25th alphabet, which makes it (2+5 = 7)

Hence, EASY = 5117
Similarly,

BEAM Æ B is the 2nd alphabet in the series

E is the 5th alphabet in the series
A is the 1st alphabet in the series

M is the 13th alphabet, which makes it (1+3 = 4)

Hence BEAM = 2514
Option b is correct.

Example 3: In a certain code language, ‘NEWS’ is written as &5%1, then ‘ASLE’ is coded as:

a. $@*# b. 5123 c. @1&5 d. 5*1#
