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”
Which among the following is the code for the word pair ‘Win focus’?
Correct Answer :
kl ps
Solution :
The correct option is kl ps.
To find the code for the word pair ‘Win focus’, 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”
Step 1: Find the code for ‘ensures’
The word ‘ensures’ appears in statements 1, 2, and 4.
The common code in statements 1, 2, and 4 is vr.
Therefore, the code for ‘ensures’ is vr.
Step 2: Find the code for ‘meticulous’ and ‘plan’
Comparing statement 1 and statement 4, the common words are ‘meticulous’ and ‘ensures’ (vr).
The common codes between statement 1 (“sm kl rn vr”) and statement 4 (“vr ps ir sm”) are ‘vr’ and ‘sm’.
So, the code for ‘meticulous’ is sm.
Comparing statement 1 and statement 3, the common word is ‘plan’.
The remaining codes in statement 1 (after removing vr and sm) are ‘kl’ and ‘rn’.
The common code between statement 1 and statement 3 is rn.
So, the code for ‘plan’ is rn.
Step 3: Find the code for ‘win’
In statement 1 (“Meticulous plan ensures win”), we have identified:
• meticulous = sm
• plan = rn
• ensures = vr
The remaining code in statement 1 for the word ‘win’ is kl.
Step 4: Find the code for ‘focus’
Comparing statement 2 (“Win ensures patience focus”) and statement 4 (“Focus ensures big meticulous”):
The common words are ‘ensures’ and ‘focus’.
The common codes between statement 2 (“vr bz ps kl”) and statement 4 (“vr ps ir sm”) are ‘vr’ and ‘ps’.
Since ‘ensures’ = vr, the code for ‘focus’ is ps.
Conclusion:
Combining the codes obtained:
• win = kl
• focus = ps
Thus, the code for the word pair ‘Win focus’ is kl ps (or ps kl).
