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”

What is the code for “Ocean boats ship”?

The correct option is Cannot be determined.

Let us analyze the given statements step-by-step to decipher the codes for each word:

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

Step 1: Decoding common words across statements:

1. Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2:
The common word is “arrived” and the common code is “wt”.
⇒ arrived = wt

2. Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 3:
The common word is “cargo” and the common code is “zm”.
⇒ cargo = zm

3. Comparing Statement 1 and Statement 4:
The common word is “today” and the common code is “rk”.
⇒ today = rk

4. Comparing Statement 2 and Statement 3:
The common word is “ship” and the common code is “qv”.
⇒ ship = qv

5. Comparing Statement 2 and Statement 4:
The common word is “harbor” and the common code is “ny”.
⇒ harbor = ny

Step 2: Finding codes for “Ocean”, “Boats”, and “Ship”:

• We already know that ship = qv.

• In Statement 3 (“Ship cargo from ocean” = “qv zm fl ug”), we know “ship” is “qv” and “cargo” is “zm”. The remaining words are “from” and “ocean”, and the remaining codes are “fl” and “ug”. Therefore, “ocean” can be either fl or ug.

• In Statement 4 (“Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”), we know “harbor” is “ny” and “today” is “rk”. The remaining words are “many” and “boats”, and the remaining codes are “wb” and “hp”. Therefore, “boats” can be either wb or hp.

Conclusion:
Since the exact codes for “ocean” (fl/ug) and “boats” (wb/hp) cannot be uniquely determined, the code for “Ocean boats ship” Cannot be determined.
