Correct Answer :

Option A

vb ur tf

vb ur tf

Solution :

To find the code for the phrase ‘Single winter order’, we need to decode the given information step-by-step by comparing the common words and their respective codes across the sentences.

First, let's list the given coded sentences:
1. ‘Several single port around’ is coded as ‘po xl yu vb’
2. ‘Single event cost edition’ is coded as ‘rf zx vb wa’
3. ‘Cost around public order’ is coded as ‘km po rf tf’
4. ‘Public host winter edition’ is coded as ‘vc ur km zx’

Step 1: Find the code for ‘Single’
Comparing Sentence 1 and Sentence 2:
- Common word: ‘single’
- Common code: ‘vb’
Therefore, the code for ‘single’ is ‘vb’.

Step 2: Find the code for ‘winter’
Comparing Sentence 3 and Sentence 4 to find codes for other words in Sentence 4:
- Common word between 3 and 4: ‘public’. Common code is ‘km’. So, ‘public’ = ‘km’.
- Common word between 2 and 4: ‘edition’. Common code is ‘zx’. So, ‘edition’ = ‘zx’.
Now, looking at Sentence 4: ‘Public host winter edition’ is coded as ‘vc ur km zx’.
Removing ‘public’ (km) and ‘edition’ (zx) leaves us with ‘host’ and ‘winter’ coded as ‘vc’ and ‘ur’ (in any order).
Since the options only provide definite answers, let's look at the combination of possible codes. The code for ‘winter’ must be either ‘vc’ or ‘ur’.

Step 3: Find the code for ‘order’
Looking at Sentence 3: ‘Cost around public order’ is coded as ‘km po rf tf’.
We already know:
- ‘public’ = ‘km’
- ‘around’ can be found by comparing Sentence 1 and Sentence 3 (common word: ‘around’, common code: ‘po’). So, ‘around’ = ‘po’.
- ‘cost’ can be found by comparing Sentence 2 and Sentence 3 (common word: ‘cost’, common code: ‘rf’). So, ‘cost’ = ‘rf’.
Substituting these into Sentence 3 leaves us with the word ‘order’, which must be coded as ‘tf’.
Therefore, the code for ‘order’ is ‘tf’.

Step 4: Combine the codes to form the code for ‘Single winter order’
- Code for ‘Single’ = ‘vb’
- Code for ‘order’ = ‘tf’
- Code for ‘winter’ = ‘ur’ (or ‘vc’)
Matching with the given options, the only option that contains ‘vb’, ‘tf’, and one of the possible codes for ‘winter’ (‘ur’) is ‘vb ur tf’.

Thus, the code for ‘Single winter order’ is ‘vb ur tf’.
