Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

tide

Solution :

The correct answer is tide.


To find which word is coded as 'zaa', let us compare the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step:


1. Given Statements:

Statement 1: 'time and money' → 'zoo zee zig'

Statement 2: 'time and tide' → 'zee zoo zaa'


2. Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2:

The common words in both statements are 'time' and 'and'.

The common code words in both statements are 'zoo' and 'zee'.

Therefore, the words 'time' and 'and' are coded as 'zoo' and 'zee' (in any order).


3. Finding the code for remaining words:

In Statement 1, the remaining word is 'money', and the remaining code is 'zig'. Hence, 'money' = 'zig'.

In Statement 2, the remaining word is 'tide', and the remaining code is 'zaa'. Hence, 'tide' = 'zaa'.


Thus, the word coded as 'zaa' is tide.
