Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
In a certain code language:
“Heavy cargo arrived today” is coded as “xp zm rk wt”
“Arrived ship harbor dock” is coded as “qv wt ny js”
“Ship cargo from ocean” is coded as “qv zm fl ug”
“Many harbor boats today” is coded as “wb hp ny rk”
If “Seaport boats” is coded as “tr hp” then what is the code for “Many heavy”?
Correct Answer :
xp wb
Solution :
The correct option is xp wb.
To find the code for "Many heavy", let us analyze the given coded statements step by step:
1. “Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”
2. “Arrived ship harbor dock” = “qv wt ny js”
3. “Ship cargo from ocean” = “qv zm fl ug”
4. “Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”
Step 1: Find the code for "today" and "cargo"
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 4:
Common word: “today”
Common code: “rk”
So, code for “today” = rk.
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3:
Common word: “cargo”
Common code: “zm”
So, code for “cargo” = zm.
Step 2: Find the code for "arrived" and "heavy"
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2:
Common word: “arrived”
Common code: “wt”
So, code for “arrived” = wt.
Now in Statement 1 (“Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”):
We know:
cargo = zm
arrived = wt
today = rk
Therefore, the remaining word “heavy” = xp.
Step 3: Find the code for "harbor" and "boats"
Comparing Statement 2 and Statement 4:
Common word: “harbor”
Common code: “ny”
So, code for “harbor” = ny.
We are given an additional condition:
“Seaport boats” is coded as “tr hp”.
Comparing this with Statement 4 (“Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”):
Common word between “Seaport boats” and Statement 4 is “boats”.
Common code between “tr hp” and “wb hp ny rk” is “hp”.
So, code for “boats” = hp.
Step 4: Find the code for "Many"
In Statement 4 (“Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”):
We know:
harbor = ny
boats = hp
today = rk
Therefore, the remaining word “Many” = wb.
Step 5: Combine codes for "Many heavy"
Code for “Many” = wb
Code for “heavy” = xp
Thus, the code for “Many heavy” is xp wb (or wb xp).
Hence, the correct option is xp wb.
