Correct Answer :

Option E

All I, II and III

Solution :

The correct option is All I, II and III.

To determine the truth value of the statements, let us decode the given statements step-by-step by comparing the coded sentences.

Given Statements and Codes:
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-by-Step Decoding:

1. Comparing Sentence 1 and Sentence 2:
Common words: “ensures” and “win”
Common codes: “vr” and “kl”
So, {ensures, win} correspond to {vr, kl}.

2. Comparing Sentence 1, Sentence 2, and Sentence 4:
The word “ensures” is present in Sentence 1, Sentence 2, and Sentence 4.
The common code present in all three sentences (1, 2, and 4) is “vr”.
Therefore, ‘ensures’ = ‘vr’.

3. Finding code for ‘win’:
Since {ensures, win} = {vr, kl} and ‘ensures’ = ‘vr’, it directly follows that:
‘win’ = ‘kl’.

4. Comparing Sentence 1 and Sentence 4 for ‘meticulous’:
Common words between Sentence 1 and Sentence 4 are “ensures” and “meticulous”.
Common codes between Sentence 1 and Sentence 4 are “vr” and “sm”.
Since ‘ensures’ = ‘vr’, the remaining common code “sm” must correspond to “meticulous”.
Therefore, ‘meticulous’ = ‘sm’.

Evaluating the Given Statements:
I. ‘Win’ is coded as ‘kl’. (True)
II. ‘Ensures’ is coded as ‘vr’. (True)
III. ‘Meticulous’ is coded as ‘sm’. (True)

Since all statements I, II, and III are correct, the true option is All I, II and III.
