Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

vb ur tf

vb ur tf

Solution :

To find the code for the phrase ‘Single winter order’, we can analyze and compare the given coded sentences to determine the code for each individual word.

Let the given coded statements be:
1. ‘Several single port around’ = ‘po xl yu vb’
2. ‘Single event cost edition’ = ‘rf zx vb wa’
3. ‘Cost around public order’ = ‘km po rf tf’
4. ‘Public host winter edition’ = ‘vc ur km zx’

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

Step 2: Find the code for ‘around’
Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3:
Common word: ‘around’
Common code: ‘po’
Therefore, the code for ‘around’ is ‘po’.

Step 3: Find the code for ‘cost’
Comparing Statement 2 and Statement 3:
Common word: ‘cost’
Common code: ‘rf’
Therefore, the code for ‘cost’ is ‘rf’.

Step 4: Find the code for ‘public’
Comparing Statement 3 and Statement 4:
Common word: ‘public’
Common code: ‘km’
Therefore, the code for ‘public’ is ‘km’.

Step 5: Find the code for ‘order’
From Statement 3, we have the words ‘Cost around public order’ coded as ‘km po rf tf’.
Using our derived codes:
‘cost’ = ‘rf’
‘around’ = ‘po’
‘public’ = ‘km’
The remaining word ‘order’ must correspond to the remaining code ‘tf’.
Therefore, the code for ‘order’ is ‘tf’.

Step 6: Find the code for ‘winter’
From Statement 4, we have the words ‘Public host winter edition’ coded as ‘vc ur km zx’.
Comparing Statement 2 and Statement 4, the common word is ‘edition’ and the common code is ‘zx’. Thus, ‘edition’ = ‘zx’.
Using our derived codes for Statement 4:
‘public’ = ‘km’
‘edition’ = ‘zx’
The remaining words ‘host’ and ‘winter’ must correspond to the remaining codes ‘vc’ and ‘ur’.
So, the code for ‘winter’ can be either ‘vc’ or ‘ur’.

Step 7: Assemble the code for ‘Single winter order’
Combining the codes we found:
‘Single’ = ‘vb’
‘order’ = ‘tf’
‘winter’ = ‘ur’ (or ‘vc’)
Matching with the given options, the correct combination is ‘vb ur tf’.

The correct option is vb ur tf.
