In a certain code language,
“Public mystery brain reach” is coded as “hjo mkt uyv edc”
“Goal takes Public” is coded as “iop mkt sdn”
“Brain takes goal” is coded as “iop sdn edc”
“Takes reach creates power” is coded as “sdn wet uyv tfx”

What may be the code of ‘takes life’?

The correct option is sdn njy.

Let's analyze the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step to decipher the code for each word:

1. Identify the code for 'takes':
- Statement 2: “Goal takes Public” = “iop mkt sdn”
- Statement 3: “Brain takes goal” = “iop sdn edc”
- Statement 4: “Takes reach creates power” = “sdn wet uyv tfx”
The common word in all three statements is 'takes', and the common code present in all three code sets is 'sdn'.
Therefore, the code for 'takes' is sdn.

2. Determine the code for 'life':
- Notice that the word 'life' does not appear in any of the original statements.
- Therefore, the code for 'life' must be a new code that does not appear anywhere in the given coded options/statements (i.e., not any of: hjo, mkt, uyv, edc, iop, sdn, wet, tfx).
- Looking at the given options:
• Option 1: iop bhl ('iop' is the code for either 'Goal' or 'Brain', not 'takes')
• Option 2: sdn njy ('sdn' stands for 'takes', and 'njy' is a new code for 'life')
• Option 3: wet bhl ('wet' is the code for 'creates' or 'power', not 'takes')
• Option 4: edc uyv ('edc' stands for 'brain', 'uyv' stands for 'reach')

Hence, ‘takes life’ can be coded as sdn njy.
