Directions (99-100): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

In a certain code language:
“wake of the reserve” is coded as “mn pg ht rs”
“reserve interest wake rate” is coded as “ rs mn st ej”
“rate of interest arise” is coded as “pg ij st ej”
“the reserve of arise “is coded as “ht rs pg ij”

What is the code for the words “of the”?

The correct option is pg ht.

To find the code for the words “of the”, let us analyze the given statements step-by-step by comparing the common words and their corresponding codes:

1. “wake of the reserve” = “mn pg ht rs”

2. “reserve interest wake rate” = “rs mn st ej”

3. “rate of interest arise” = “pg ij st ej”

4. “the reserve of arise” = “ht rs pg ij”

Step 1: Find the code for "reserve" and "wake"
Comparing statement (1) and statement (2):
Common words: “wake” and “reserve”
Common codes: “mn” and “rs”
Now, compare statement (1), (2), and (4):
The word “reserve” is present in (1), (2), and (4). The code common to all three is “rs”.
Therefore, code for “reserve” = rs.
Since “wake” is in (1) and (2), its code must be “mn”.
Therefore, code for “wake” = mn.

Step 2: Find the code for "of"
Comparing statement (1), (3), and (4):
The word “of” appears in all three statements.
The common code present in statements (1), (3), and (4) is “pg”.
Therefore, code for “of” = pg.

Step 3: Find the code for "the"
In statement (1) “wake of the reserve” = “mn pg ht rs”:
We already know:
• “wake” = mn
• “of” = pg
• “reserve” = rs
The remaining word is “the” and the remaining code is “ht”.
Therefore, code for “the” = ht.

Combining the codes for “of” and “the”, we get “pg ht”.
