Correct Answer :

Option B

Edition

Solution :

To find the code for the term ‘zx’, we can analyze the given coding patterns step-by-step by identifying common words and their corresponding codes across the sentences.

Let's list the given statements and their codes:
1. ‘Several single port around’ is coded as ‘po xl yu vb’
2. ‘Single event cost edition’ is coded as ‘rf zx vb wa’
3. ‘Cost around public order’ is coded as ‘km po rf tf’
4. ‘Public host winter edition’ is coded as ‘vc ur km zx’

First, let's look for the code ‘zx’ in the statements. We see ‘zx’ appears in the code for statement 2 and statement 4:
- Statement 2: ‘Single event cost edition’ → ‘rf zx vb wa’
- Statement 4: ‘Public host winter edition’ → ‘vc ur km zx

Now, let's find the common word(s) between Statement 2 and Statement 4:
- Statement 2 words: {Single, event, cost, edition}
- Statement 4 words: {Public, host, winter, edition}

The only word common to both statements is ‘edition’.
Since the code ‘zx’ is the only code common to the code representations of both Statement 2 and Statement 4, we can conclude that ‘zx’ represents ‘edition’.

Therefore, the correct option is Edition.
