Coding Decoding Most Expected Questions for SSC CGL Tier 2 Exam

Coding Decoding for SSC CGL Tier 2 Exam: Coding-Decoding is an important topic in the SSC CGL exam. Candidates can expect at least 2-3 questions at a Moderate level from this topic in the SSC CGL Mains exam. One can solve questions easily from this topic if he/she has practiced a lot on questions based on different patterns. They are advised to first understand the basics of the Coding-Decoding and then solve the questions. In this blog, we have provided the detailed concept of Coding-Decoding with separate examples for Coding and Decoding. Also, we have provided the most important expected questions that can be asked in the SSC CGL Tier 2 exam.

Concept of Coding-Decoding

Concept: Coding-Decoding is a method used in puzzles or problems to represent words or letters differently. The idea is to encode (transform) a message into a different form (coded), and then decode the coded one to its original form. Here’s a simple explanation of the concept:

1. What is Coding?

In coding, you take a piece of information (like a word or letter) and change it into a different form according to some rules. For example:

• Word → Code (changing a word into code)

For instance, you might replace each letter in the word “CAT” with the next letter in the alphabet:

• C → D
• A → B
• T → U

So, “CAT” becomes “DBU.”

2. What is Decoding?

Decoding is the opposite of coding. It means you take the coded message and convert it back to its original form using the same rule.

• Code → Word

If you were given the code “DBU,” you could decode it back to “CAT” by reversing the rule:

• D → C
• B → A
• U → T

So, decoding “DBU” brings you back to “CAT.”
