Reasoning Ability Questions for IBPS Clerks

NUMBER CODING

In this type of questions, words are coded by digits. We have to decode based on common letters

Example- 01: In a certain code, ENTRY is written as 12345 and STEADY is written as 931785 then how is TENANT written in that code?

 Solution:

E     N     T     R    Y

1     2      3       4     5

S   T   E   A   D   Y

9   3   1   7   8   5

Similarly,

T   E   N   A   N   T

3   1   2   7   2   3

Example- 02:

In a certain code, BOWLER is written as 613972 and WINE is written as 3457 then how is IRON written in that code?

 Solution:

B   O    W    L    E   R

6    1    3    9    7    2

W    I    N    E

3    4     5    7

Similarly,

I    R    0    N

4    2    1   5

Example- 03:

If D = 4, COVER = 63 then BASIS =?

Solution:

In English alphabet position value of D = 4 Similarly

C = 3, 0 = 15, V= 22, E = 5, R = 18. If we observer sum of these values is 63. According to this logic BASIS= 2 +1+ 19 + 9+19= 50

SYMBOL CODING

Example- 04:

In a certain code BEND is written as ‘#$?&I’ and RAIN is written as ‘@*%?.. How is DARE written in that code?

Solution:

B   E  N   D

#   $   ?    &

R   A   I   N

@  *   %   ?

Similarly,

D    A    R   E

&     *    S   $

Example- 05:

In a certain code TEAM is written as ‘?8p?’ and FLEW is written as ‘@*8&’. How is MELT written in that code?

Solution:

T     E     A    M

?   8     P      ?

F     L      E    W

@   *      8    &

Similarly,

M    E    L   T

?    8    *    ?
