Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

In a secret cipher system:
“bright glow of dawn” is represented by “vx bk lm tr”
“glow color bright dusk” is represented by “tr vx qz ny”
“dusk of color shade” is represented by “bk fx qz ny”
“dawn glow of shade” is represented by “lm tr bk fx”

What is the cipher code for the word phrase “of dawn”?

The correct answer is bk lm.

Step-by-step Explanation:

To find the cipher code for the phrase “of dawn”, we analyze and compare the given coded statements step-by-step to decipher the code for each word.

Given Information:
Statement 1: “bright glow of dawn” = “vx bk lm tr”
Statement 2: “glow color bright dusk” = “tr vx qz ny”
Statement 3: “dusk of color shade” = “bk fx qz ny”
Statement 4: “dawn glow of shade” = “lm tr bk fx”

Step 1: Find the codes for “glow” and “bright”
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2:
• Common words: “bright” and “glow”
• Common codes: “vx” and “tr”
So, {“bright”, “glow”} = {“vx”, “tr”}.

Now, observe Statement 4: “dawn glow of shade” = “lm tr bk fx”.
Statement 4 contains the word “glow” but does not contain “bright”. Between the codes “vx” and “tr”, only “tr” is present in Statement 4.
Therefore:
• Code for “glow” = tr
• Code for “bright” = vx

Step 2: Find the code for “of”
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3:
• Statement 1: “bright glow of dawn” = “vx bk lm tr”
• Statement 3: “dusk of color shade” = “bk fx qz ny”
The only common word between Statement 1 and Statement 3 is “of”.
The only common code between Statement 1 and Statement 3 is “bk”.
Therefore, the code for “of” = bk.

Step 3: Find the code for “dawn”
Looking at Statement 1 (“bright glow of dawn” = “vx bk lm tr”):
• “bright” = vx
• “glow” = tr
• “of” = bk
The remaining word in Statement 1 is “dawn” and the remaining code is “lm”.
Therefore, the code for “dawn” = lm.

Conclusion:
Combining the individual codes:
• “of” = bk
• “dawn” = lm
Hence, the cipher code for “of dawn” is bk lm.
