In a certain code language:
“Summer season is boring” is coded as “mn hn rd hi”
“Winter season are gone” is coded as “jk hn tr vb”
“People feel boring summer” is coded as “mn rd bx az”
“boring feel are gone” is coded as “rd jk vb az”
What is the code of “gone” as per the given code language?
Correct Answer :
Either jk or vb
Solution :
To find the code for the word “gone”, let us analyze the common words and their respective codes step-by-step from the given statements:
1. “Summer season is boring” is coded as “mn hn rd hi”
2. “Winter season are gone” is coded as “jk hn tr vb”
3. “People feel boring summer” is coded as “mn rd bx az”
4. “boring feel are gone�� is coded as “rd jk vb az”
Step 1: Find the code for “season”
Comparing statements 1 and 2, the only common word is “season”. The only common code between them is “hn”.
Therefore, “season” = “hn”.
Step 2: Find the code for “boring” and “feel”
Comparing statements 1, 3, and 4, the common word is “boring”. The common code in all three is “rd”.
Therefore, “boring” = “rd”.
Now, comparing statements 3 and 4, the common words are “boring” and “feel”. Since we know “boring” is coded as “rd”, the other common code “az” must correspond to “feel”.
Therefore, “feel” = “az”.
Step 3: Analyze the remaining codes in Statement 4
Statement 4 is “boring feel are gone” coded as “rd jk vb az”.
Since we know “boring” = “rd” and “feel” = “az”, the remaining words “are gone” must be coded as “jk” and “vb”.
Since there is no other statement to differentiate between “are” and “gone”, the code for “gone” cannot be determined uniquely.
Thus, the code for “gone” is either jk or vb.
