D

xy uv

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

uv pq

Solution :

The correct option is uv pq.

To determine how ‘learn well’ is coded, we compare the given statements to find the unique code corresponding to each word.

Step 1: Find the code for ‘learn’
Compare the first two statements:
• Statement 1: ‘scholars learn well’ is coded as ‘xy uv pq’
• Statement 2: ‘learn yields progress’ is coded as ‘uv rs lm’
The word common to both statements is ‘learn’, and the code common to both is ‘uv’.
Hence, ‘learn’ = ‘uv’.

Step 2: Find the code for ‘well’
Compare the first and third statements:
• Statement 1: ‘scholars learn well’ is coded as ‘xy uv pq
• Statement 3: ‘well effort pays’ is coded as ‘pq jk no’
The word common to both statements is ‘well’, and the code common to both is ‘pq’.
Hence, ‘well’ = ‘pq’.

Step 3: Combine the codes
Combining the individual codes:
• ‘learn’ ⇒ ‘uv’
• ‘well’ ⇒ ‘pq’

Therefore, ‘learn well’ is coded as ‘uv pq’.
