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 is the code for ‘vector’?

The correct option is Can’t be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze the given coded statements:
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: Find the codes for common words across the statements:
• Comparing statements (1) and (2), the common word is Solar and the common code is plx. Thus, Solar = plx.
• Comparing statements (1) and (3), the common word is Comet and the common code is qvk. Thus, Comet = qvk.
• Comparing statements (1) and (4), the common word is Flare and the common code is bmt. Thus, Flare = bmt.
• Comparing statements (2), (3), and (4), the common word is Shield and the common code is gdh. Thus, Shield = gdh.
• Comparing statements (2) and (3), the common word is Pulse and the common code is fws. Thus, Pulse = fws.

Step 2: Determine the code for 'vector':
Look closely at statement (4): “Shield flare vector signal” is coded as “gdh jyp bmt krt”.
We already know:
• Shield = gdh
• Flare = bmt

Eliminating the codes for "Shield" (gdh) and "Flare" (bmt) from statement (4) leaves us with:
Words: vector and signal
Codes: jyp and krt

Since neither "vector" nor "signal" appears in any other given statement, we cannot determine whether the code for "vector" is jyp or krt.

Hence, the code for 'vector' Can’t be determined.
