Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

rs

Solution :

The correct option is rs.

To find the code for the word “be”, let us analyze the given statements step-by-step by comparing common words and their corresponding codes:

1. Statement 1: “stay calm be ready” = “mn jk lm rs”
2. Statement 2: “ready for stay quiet” = “rp jk ut mn”
3. Statement 3: “calm nature for peace” = “lm ve rp st”
4. Statement 4: “nature quiet for calm” = “ve ut rp lm”

Step 1: Find the code for “calm”
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3, the common word is “calm”.
Comparing their codes (“mn jk lm rs” and “lm ve rp st”), the common code is “lm”.
Therefore, “calm” = “lm”.

Step 2: Find the codes for “stay” and “ready”
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2, the common words are “stay” and “ready”.
Comparing their codes, the common codes are “mn” and “jk”.
So, the set of words {“stay”, “ready”} corresponds to the set of codes {“mn”, “jk”}.

Step 3: Determine the code for “be”
In Statement 1, we have four words: “stay”, “calm”, “be”, and “ready”, with codes “mn”, “jk”, “lm”, and “rs”.
From our previous steps:
- “calm” is coded as “lm”
- “stay” and “ready” are coded as “mn” and “jk” (in some order)

The only remaining word in Statement 1 is “be”, and the only remaining code is “rs”.
Hence, the code for “be” is “rs”.
