Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

In a certain code language:
“Heavy cargo arrived today” is coded as “xp zm rk wt”
“Arrived ship harbor dock” is coded as “qv wt ny js”
“Ship cargo from ocean” is coded as “qv zm fl ug”
“Many harbor boats today” is coded as “wb hp ny rk”

The code “qv ny” is coded for?

The correct option is Ship harbor.

To find the code for "qv ny", let us decode the given statements step-by-step by comparing the words and their corresponding codes across statements.

Given statements and their codes:
1. “Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”
2. “Arrived ship harbor dock” = “qv wt ny js”
3. “Ship cargo from ocean” = “qv zm fl ug”
4. “Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”

Step 1: Find the code for "ship".
Comparing Statement 2 (“Arrived ship harbor dock”) and Statement 3 (“Ship cargo from ocean”):
The common word in both statements is “ship”.
The common code in both code groups (“qv wt ny js” and “qv zm fl ug”) is “qv”.
Therefore, the code for “ship” is “qv”.

Step 2: Find the code for "harbor".
Comparing Statement 2 (“Arrived ship harbor dock”) and Statement 4 (“Many harbor boats today”):
The common word in both statements is “harbor”.
The common code in both code groups (“qv wt ny js” and “wb hp ny rk”) is “ny”.
Therefore, the code for “harbor” is “ny”.

Step 3: Combine the codes.
Since “qv” stands for “ship” and “ny” stands for “harbor”, the code “qv ny” represents “Ship harbor”.
