Correct Answer :

Option A

In

Solution :

To determine which word is coded as ‘um’, let us analyze the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step.


Given statements and codes:

1. ‘Play the same game.’ → ‘us ud ut uk’
2. ‘Seen in the play.’ → ‘uk ua ud um’
3. ‘The jar is seen.’ → ‘ud ua uh uw’
4. ‘The same game played’ → ‘ut ud ub us’


Step 1: Find the code for ‘The’
The word ‘the’ appears in all four statements.
Comparing the code words across all four statements, the only common code is ‘ud’.
Therefore, the code for ‘the’ is ‘ud’.


Step 2: Find the code for ‘Seen’
The word ‘seen’ is common to Statement 2 and Statement 3.
Comparing the codes of Statement 2 (‘uk ua ud um’) and Statement 3 (‘ud ua uh uw’), excluding ‘ud’ (which is ‘the’), the common code is ‘ua’.
Therefore, the code for ‘seen’ is ‘ua’.


Step 3: Find the code for ‘Play’
The word ‘play’ is common to Statement 1 and Statement 2.
Comparing the codes of Statement 1 (‘us ud ut uk’) and Statement 2 (‘uk ua ud um’), excluding ‘ud’ (which is ‘the’), the common code is ‘uk’.
Therefore, the code for ‘play’ is ‘uk’.


Step 4: Determine the code for ‘In’
Now, look at Statement 2: ‘Seen in the play.’
The statement contains four words: ‘seen’, ‘in’, ‘the’, and ‘play’, coded as ‘uk ua ud um’.
We have identified the codes for three of these words:
- ‘the’ = ‘ud’
- ‘seen’ = ‘ua’
- ‘play’ = ‘uk’


The only remaining word in Statement 2 is ‘in’, and the only remaining code is ‘um’.
Thus, the word coded as ‘um’ is ‘In’.


The correct answer is In.
