Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
“Meticulous plan ensures win” is coded as “sm kl rn vr”
“Win ensures patience focus” is coded as “vr bz ps kl”
“Future demands patience plan” is coded as “bz hi jr rn”
“Focus ensures big meticulous” is coded as “vr ps ir sm”

What is the code for ‘demands’?

The correct option is Can’t be determined.

To find the code for the word ‘demands’, let us analyze the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step:

1. “Meticulous plan ensures win” → “sm kl rn vr”

2. “Win ensures patience focus” → “vr bz ps kl”

3. “Future demands patience plan” → “bz hi jr rn”

4. “Focus ensures big meticulous” → “vr ps ir sm”

Let us decode each word by comparing the statements:

• Comparing statements (1), (2), and (4), the word ‘ensures’ is common to all three. The common code among them is ‘vr’. Therefore, ‘ensures’ = vr.

• Comparing statements (1) and (4), the word ‘meticulous’ is common. The common code is ‘sm’. Therefore, ‘meticulous’ = sm.

• Comparing statements (1) and (3), the word ‘plan’ is common. The common code is ‘rn’. Therefore, ‘plan’ = rn.

• Comparing statements (2) and (3), the word ‘patience’ is common. The common code is ‘bz’. Therefore, ‘patience’ = bz.

Now, look specifically at statement (3):

“Future demands patience plan” is coded as “bz hi jr rn”

We already know that ‘patience’ = bz and ‘plan’ = rn. Removing these from statement (3) leaves us with:

Words remaining: ‘Future’ and ‘demands’

Codes remaining: ‘hi’ and ‘jr’

Since neither ‘Future’ nor ‘demands’ appears in any other given statement, we cannot definitively determine which code corresponds to ‘demands’. The code for ‘demands’ could be either ‘hi’ or ‘jr’.

Hence, the exact code for ‘demands’ cannot be determined from the given information.
