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”
Which among the following words is coded as “tr”?
Correct Answer :
Glow
Solution :
The correct answer is Glow.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's analyze the given statements in the secret cipher system:
1. “bright glow of dawn” is coded as “vx bk lm tr”
2. “glow color bright dusk” is coded as “tr vx qz ny”
3. “dusk of color shade” is coded as “bk fx qz ny”
4. “dawn glow of shade” is coded as “lm tr bk fx”
Step 1: Finding the code for "glow"
Comparing statements (1), (2), and (4):
- The only word common to statements (1), (2), and (4) is “glow”.
- The only code common to statements (1), (2), and (4) is “tr”.
Therefore, the word “glow” is coded as “tr”.
Step 2: Verification of other word codes
- Comparing statements (1) and (2), the common words are “bright” and “glow” (codes: “vx” and “tr”). Since “glow” = “tr”, it follows that “bright” = “vx”.
- Comparing statements (1), (3), and (4), the common word is “of” (code: “bk”). Therefore, “of” = “bk”.
- From statement (1), the remaining word “dawn” corresponds to the remaining code “lm”.
Thus, the word coded as “tr” is Glow.
