Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
In a certain code language:
“Summer season is boring” is coded as “mn hn rd hi”
“Winter season are gone” is coded as “jk hn tr vb”
“People feel boring summer” is coded as “mn rd bx az”
“boring feel are gone” is coded as “rd jk vb az”
What is the code of “people” as per the given code language?
Correct Answer :
bx
Solution :
To find the code for the word "people", let us analyze the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step:
1. "Summer season is boring" is coded as "mn hn rd hi"
2. "Winter season are gone" is coded as "jk hn tr vb"
3. "People feel boring summer" is coded as "mn rd bx az"
4. "boring feel are gone" is coded as "rd jk vb az"
First, let's find the code for "boring" by comparing Statements 1, 3, and 4. The only word common to all three statements is "boring", and the only code common to their respective code sets ("mn hn rd hi", "mn rd bx az", "rd jk vb az") is "rd".
Therefore, "boring" is coded as "rd".
Next, let's find the code for "summer" by comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3. The common words are "summer" and "boring". Since we know "boring" is "rd", the other common code between "mn hn rd hi" and "mn rd bx az" must be "summer". The common code is "mn".
Therefore, "summer" is coded as "mn".
Now, let's find the code for "feel" by comparing Statement 3 and Statement 4. The common words are "boring" and "feel". The codes for Statement 3 are "mn rd bx az" and for Statement 4 are "rd jk vb az". The common codes are "rd" (which is "boring") and "az".
Therefore, "feel" is coded as "az".
Finally, let's look at Statement 3: "People feel boring summer" is coded as "mn rd bx az".
We have identified the codes for three of the words:
- "summer" = "mn"
- "boring" = "rd"
- "feel" = "az"
The only remaining word in Statement 3 is "People", and the only remaining code is "bx".
Therefore, the code for "people" is "bx".
