Coding and Decoding Questions

Word is divided into groups of two letters each and then letters of each group move one place forward and one place backward alternatively as in English alphabet. Hence, 

PERINATH => PE RI NA TH =>QFQHOBSG  and POLE => PO LE => QPKD

similarly,

SYNDROME => SY ND RO ME => TZMCSPLD

In the first and third statements, the common code word is 'peru' and the common word is 'fine'.

So, 'peru' means 'fine'.

Letters of the word PREMONITION are coded as follows:

Letters :  P    R    E    M    O    N    I    T    I    O    N

Code:        6    8    5    3    0    4    9    2    9    0    4

See the code below Is and Ns. Codes for I and N are 9 and 4 respectively. This indicates that the digits below each letters represent its code. Therefore, code for the word MONITOR is 3049208
