Directions: Examine the coded statements and answer the question.

In a particular coding system:
“Runners map trails” is represented by “135 212 232”
“Pilots runners pack trails” is represented by “165 135 118 232”
“Pilots guide trails trophies” is represented by “147 165 232 235”
“Map services need updates” is represented by “212 114 136 128”

Which code represents “map trails”?

The correct option is 232 212.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To find the code for "map trails", we compare the common words and their corresponding numerical codes across the given statements.

Given Coded Statements:
1. “Runners map trails” = “135 212 232”
2. “Pilots runners pack trails” = “165 135 118 232”
3. “Pilots guide trails trophies” = “147 165 232 235”
4. “Map services need updates” = “212 114 136 128”

Step 1: Find the code for “trails”
The word “trails” appears in statement 1, statement 2, and statement 3.
Comparing the numerical codes of these three statements:
- Statement 1: 135, 212, 232
- Statement 2: 165, 135, 118, 232
- Statement 3: 147, 165, 232, 235
The only number common to all three statements is 232.
Thus, the code for “trails” is 232.

Step 2: Find the code for “map”
The word “map” appears in statement 1 and statement 4.
Comparing the numerical codes of statement 1 and statement 4:
- Statement 1: 135, 212, 232
- Statement 4: 212, 114, 136, 128
The only number common to both statements is 212.
Thus, the code for “map” is 212.

Step 3: Combine the codes for “map trails”
Combining the code for “map” (212) and “trails” (232), the required code must contain the numbers 212 and 232.
Matching with the options, this combination is represented as 232 212.
