Read the given information carefully and answer the related questions: In a certain code language

In a certain code language
‘Play the same game.’ is coded as ‘us ud ut uk’
‘Seen in the play.’ is coded as ‘uk ua ud um’
‘The jar is seen.’ is coded as ‘ud ua uh uw’
‘The same game played’ is coded as ‘ut ud ub us’

What is the code of ‘play’?

The correct answer is uk.

To find the code for the word ‘play’, let's analyze the given statements step-by-step:

1. ‘Play the same game.’ is coded as ‘us ud ut uk’

2. ‘Seen in the play.’ is coded as ‘uk ua ud um’

3. ‘The jar is seen.’ is coded as ‘ud ua uh uw’

4. ‘The same game played’ is coded as ‘ut ud ub us’

Step 1: Find the code for ‘the’

The word ‘the’ is common to all four statements.

Looking at the code words across all four statements, ‘ud’ is present in all of them:

• Statement 1: us, ud, ut, uk

• Statement 2: uk, ua, ud, um

• Statement 3: ud, ua, uh, uw

• Statement 4: ut, ud, ub, us

Therefore, the code for ‘the’ is ‘ud’.

Step 2: Find the code for ‘play’

Now compare Statement 1 and Statement 2:

• Statement 1: ‘Play the same game.’ ➔ ‘us ud ut uk’

• Statement 2: ‘Seen in the play.’ ➔ ‘uk ua ud um’

Apart from ‘the’ (which is coded as ‘ud’), the only common word between Statement 1 and Statement 2 is ‘play’.

The common code word between them (excluding ‘ud’) is ‘uk’.

Hence, the code for ‘play’ is uk.
