What is the code for the word “area” in the given coded language?

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions below:

In a certain code language;

“narrow street clean area” is coded as “pq fd mi st”

“perfect free street story” is coded as “br fd jd op”

“free area string happily” is coded as “st zk br lp”

“contact clean string wrong” is coded as “zk cx ai pq”

To find the code for the word “area”, let us analyze the given statements and their corresponding codes step-by-step:

1. “narrow street clean area” → “pq fd mi st”
2. “perfect free street story” → “br fd jd op”
3. “free area string happily” → “st zk br lp”
4. “contact clean string wrong” → “zk cx ai pq”

Step 1: Find the code for “area”
Notice that the word “area” appears in Statement 1 (“narrow street clean area”) and Statement 3 (“free area string happily”).

Let us compare the common words between Statement 1 and Statement 3:
- Statement 1: “narrow”, “street”, “clean”, “area”
- Statement 3: “free”, “area”, “string”, “happily”

The only common word between Statement 1 and Statement 3 is “area” (since “street” appears in Statements 1 and 2, but not 3; “clean” appears in Statements 1 and 4, but not 3).

Now, compare the common code symbols between Statement 1 (“pq fd mi st”) and Statement 3 (“st zk br lp”):
- Statement 1 codes: pq, fd, mi, st
- Statement 3 codes: st, zk, br, lp

The only common code between both lists is “st”.

Therefore, the code for the word “area” is st.

The correct option is st.
