Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the question below.

In a certain code language:
“bright avenue fresh zone” is coded as “km ql rt vx”
“grand open avenue novel” is coded as “np vx ts yg”
“open zone ribbon joyful” is coded as “rt hn yg wz”
“global fresh ribbon secret” is coded as “hn ef km ub”

Which among the following words are coded as “km ql ef” in the given code language?

The correct answer is Either (a) or (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statements and their respective codes:
1. “bright avenue fresh zone” → “km ql rt vx”
2. “grand open avenue novel” → “np vx ts yg”
3. “open zone ribbon joyful” → “rt hn yg wz”
4. “global fresh ribbon secret” → “hn ef km ub”

Decoding individual words:
1. Comparing statement (1) and statement (2):
The common word is "avenue" and the common code is "vx".
⇒ avenue = vx

2. Comparing statement (1) and statement (3):
The common word is "zone" and the common code is "rt".
⇒ zone = rt

3. Comparing statement (1) and statement (4):
The common word is "fresh" and the common code is "km".
⇒ fresh = km

4. From statement (1), the remaining word is "bright" and the remaining code is "ql":
⇒ bright = ql

5. Comparing statement (3) and statement (4):
The common word is "ribbon" and the common code is "hn".
⇒ ribbon = hn

6. From statement (4), we know fresh = km and ribbon = hn.
The remaining words are "global" and "secret", corresponding to remaining codes "ef" and "ub".
⇒ "global" / "secret" = "ef" / "ub" (code "ef" represents either "global" or "secret")

Determining the words for the code “km ql ef”:
- km → fresh
- ql → bright
- ef → global or secret

Therefore, the combination “km ql ef” stands for either "fresh global bright" or "bright fresh secret".

Thus, the correct choice is Either (a) or (c).
