Let's count similar objects and write in the table given below:














                                      Name of the Item                 Number of the Item

                                 1.  Shuttle Cock                                   7                                       DATA PROCESSING
                                 2.  Football                                       5

                                 3.  Chair                                          4

                                 4.  Table                                          3

                                 5.  Hockey Stick                                   5
                                                                                                                          67
                 Now, let's sort the number of items in the above table in descending order. You will

                 get the following data:

                                      Name of the Item                 Number of the Item

                                 1.  Shuttle Cock                                   7

                                 2.  Football                                       5

                                 3.  Hockey Stick                                   5

                                 4.  Chair                                          4
                                 5.  Table                                          3




                   Decoding


                 Data can also be represented in the form of a hidden/secret message, called as coded
                 data. The hidden message can be in the form of a symbol, number, picture, letter, or

                 a pattern. The process of converting a hidden message to a meaningful text is called

                 decoding. Look at the code below used to solve the sums.

                 Code:

                  A = 1        B = 2        C = 3        D = 4         E = 5        F = 6        G = 7        H = 8

                 Sums:

                 1.   A  × B    = B       2.   E  × A    = E       3.   B × C      = F      4.   D × B      = H
