D. ^4R +3B &9A ^3O
E. None of these

Answers:

1. D
2. C
3. A
4. D
5. C

Concept Explanation:

Each code has symbol, Number and a Letter

Now when we analyze the code, each of them has a number in the middle, which implies the total number of letters of that corresponding word.

Letter in the end represents the second letter of the corresponding word

Finally we have to find the logic behind the symbols used

By taking last line into consideration, symbol ‘#’ comes twice, which clearly implies it encrypt the letter ‘T’

By comparing 1st line with 3rd line, words ‘Bank Exams’ get repeated, from which we can conclude

! Represents B

 @ Represents E

Similarly using above logic we can easily find the corresponding codes for all the word.

(Q6-Q10) Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

In a certain code language

‘Apple Cat Dog Beetroot’ is written as ‘*T8 ^T3 @E5 %G3’

‘Baroda Axis Canara Dena ’ is written as ‘%A4 @S4 ^A6 *A6’

‘Decoding Aptitude Coding Basel ’ is written as ‘@E8 %G8 *L5 ^G6’

‘Cousin Aunty Brother Dear’ is written as ‘^N6 %R4 *R7 @Y5’

6. Which of the following code for ‘Axis’?
A. ^A6
B. *A6
C. @S4
D. %A4
E. None of these

7. Which of the following code for ‘Cousin’?
A. ^G6
B. ^N6
C. *R7
D. %G3
E. None of these

8. In the given code language, what does the code ‘^A6’ means?
A. Baroda
B. Cousin
C. Beetroot
D. Canara
E. None of these

9. Which of the following is the code for ‘Apple’?
A. @E5
B. *A6
C. *L5
D. @Y5
E. None of these

10. What may be the possible code for ‘SBI’ according to the above coding concept?
A. %I3
B.!I3
C.@I3
D.*I3
E. ^T3

Answers:

6. C
7. B
8. D
9. A
10. B

Concept Explanation:

Each code has symbol, Letter and a number

Same symbols(@,*,%,^) get repeated for every line, similarly Words starts with same set of alphabets (A,B,C,D) for every line, which clearly says each letter corresponds to a particular symbol.

Now when we analyze the code, each of them ends with a number, which implies the total number of letters of that corresponding word.

Finally letter in the middle represents the end letter of the corresponding word

By the above concept decrypted code for first line will be

Apple: @E5

Cat: ^T3

Dog: %G3

Banana: *A6

Therefore, Corresponding symbol for the alphabets will be

A: @

B: *

C: ^

D: %

When we look at 5th Question, ‘SBI’ will also start with a symbol, but it will be other than the above-mentioned four and 2nd, 3rd positions of the code will be ‘I3’, therefore from the given option ‘!I3’ will be the possible code for ‘SBI’.

Points to remember:

• If difficult coding-decoding question appears, try to find out the logic behind.
• If you can able to find the logic, it will take just a few seconds to find out the answers.
