Option C

wa po

Solution :

To find the code for the phrase ‘Event around’, let us analyze the given coded sentences step-by-step to determine the code for each individual word.

Step 1: Analyze the word ‘around’
Let us find the sentences containing the word ‘around’:
1. ‘Several single port around’ is coded as ‘po xl yu vb’
2. ‘Cost around public order’ is coded as ‘km po rf tf’
Comparing these two sentences, the only common word is ‘around’, and the only common code is ‘po’.
Therefore, the code for ‘around’ is ‘po’.

Step 2: Analyze the word ‘Event’
Let us analyze the second sentence: ‘Single event cost edition’ coded as ‘rf zx vb wa’.
We need to eliminate the codes for ‘Single’, ‘cost’, and ‘edition’ to find the code for ‘event’.

- Finding the code for ‘Single’:
Sentence 1: ‘Several single port around’ → ‘po xl yu vb
Sentence 2: ‘Single event cost edition’ → ‘rf zx vb wa’
Comparing Sentence 1 and Sentence 2, the common word is ‘single’ and the common code is ‘vb’.
Therefore, the code for ‘single’ is ‘vb’.

- Finding the code for ‘edition’:
Sentence 2: ‘Single event cost edition’ → ‘rf zx vb wa’
Sentence 4: ‘Public host winter edition’ → ‘vc ur km zx
Comparing Sentence 2 and Sentence 4, the common word is ‘edition’ and the common code is ‘zx’.
Therefore, the code for ‘edition’ is ‘zx’.

- Finding the code for ‘cost’:
Sentence 2: ‘Single event cost edition’ → ‘rf zx vb wa’
Sentence 3: ‘Cost around public order’ → ‘km po rf tf’
Comparing Sentence 2 and Sentence 3, the common word is ‘cost’ and the common code is ‘rf’.
Therefore, the code for ‘cost’ is ‘rf’.

- Determining the code for ‘event’:
In Sentence 2, the words are ‘Single’, ‘event’, ‘cost’, and ‘edition’, and the corresponding codes are ‘rf’, ‘zx’, ‘vb’, and ‘wa’.
Since:
‘single’ = ‘vb’
‘edition’ = ‘zx’
‘cost’ = ‘rf’
The remaining word ‘event’ must correspond to the remaining code ‘wa’.
Therefore, the code for ‘event’ is ‘wa’.

Step 3: Combine the codes
Combining the code for ‘event’ (‘wa’) and ‘around’ (‘po’), the code for ‘Event around’ is ‘wa po’.
