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”

If “Seaport boats” is coded as “tr hp” then what is the code for “Many heavy”?

E

xp wb

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option E

xp wb

Solution :

The correct option is xp wb.

To find the code for "Many heavy", let us decipher the code for each word step-by-step by comparing the given statements:

1. Compare Statement 1 and Statement 2:
Statement 1: “Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”
Statement 2: “Arrived ship harbor dock” = “qv wt ny js”
The common word in both statements is “arrived”, and the common code is “wt”.
Therefore, the code for “arrived” = wt.

2. Compare Statement 1 and Statement 3:
Statement 1: “Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”
Statement 3: “Ship cargo from ocean” = “qv zm fl ug”
The common word in both statements is “cargo”, and the common code is “zm”.
Therefore, the code for “cargo” = zm.

3. Compare Statement 1 and Statement 4:
Statement 1: “Heavy cargo arrived today” = “xp zm rk wt”
Statement 4: “Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”
The common word in both statements is “today”, and the common code is “rk”.
Therefore, the code for “today” = rk.

4. Find the code for “heavy”:
From Statement 1, the words are “Heavy”, “cargo” (zm), “arrived” (wt), and “today” (rk).
The remaining word is “heavy”, and the remaining code is “xp”.
Therefore, the code for “heavy” = xp.

5. Compare Statement 2 and Statement 3:
Statement 2: “Arrived ship harbor dock” = “qv wt ny js”
Statement 3: “Ship cargo from ocean” = “qv zm fl ug”
The common word is “ship”, and the common code is “qv”.
Therefore, the code for “ship” = qv.

6. Compare Statement 2 and Statement 4:
Statement 2: “Arrived ship harbor dock” = “qv wt ny js”
Statement 4: “Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”
The common word is “harbor”, and the common code is “ny”.
Therefore, the code for “harbor” = ny.

7. Find the code for “boats” and “many”:
We are given additional information in the question:
If “Seaport boats” is coded as “tr hp”.
From Statement 4: “Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”.
We already know: “harbor” = ny, “today” = rk.
Comparing Statement 4 with “Seaport boats” (tr hp), the common word is “boats” and the common code is “hp”.
Therefore, the code for “boats” = hp.

Now in Statement 4 (“Many harbor boats today” = “wb hp ny rk”), we have:
“harbor” = ny
“boats” = hp
“today” = rk
The remaining word is “many”, and the remaining code is “wb”.
Therefore, the code for “many” = wb.

Combining the codes for “many” (wb) and “heavy” (xp):
The code for “Many heavy” is xp wb (or wb xp).
