Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given question.

In a certain code language,
“Solar orbit comet flare” is coded as “zrn plx bmt qvk”
“Pulse shield Solar” is coded as “fws plx gdh”
“Comet shield pulse” is coded as “fws gdh qvk”
“Shield flare vector signal” is coded as “gdh jyp bmt krt”

What may be the code for ‘shield matrix’?

The correct answer is gdh wxb.

To find the code for "shield matrix", let us decode the given statements step-by-step:
1. "Solar orbit comet flare" is coded as "zrn plx bmt qvk"
2. "Pulse shield Solar" is coded as "fws plx gdh"
3. "Comet shield pulse" is coded as "fws gdh qvk"
4. "Shield flare vector signal" is coded as "gdh jyp bmt krt"

Step 1: Finding the code for 'Solar'
Comparing statements 1 and 2, the common word is Solar and the common code is plx.
Thus, Solar = plx.

Step 2: Finding the code for 'Comet'
Comparing statements 1 and 3, the common word is Comet and the common code is qvk.
Thus, Comet = qvk.

Step 3: Finding the code for 'shield' and 'Pulse'
Comparing statements 2 and 3, the common words are shield and Pulse, and the common codes are fws and gdh.
Now compare statement 4 with statements 2 and 3. Statement 4 contains the word Shield and the code gdh (but does not contain fws).
Therefore, shield = gdh and Pulse = fws.

Step 4: Finding the code for 'matrix'
Since shield = gdh, the code for "shield matrix" must contain gdh along with a new code for the new word "matrix" (which does not appear in any of the original statements).
Checking the options, wxb is a new code that has not been used for any word in the given statements.

Therefore, the code for shield matrix is gdh wxb.
