In a certain code language,
“happy life is forever” is coded as “ky st oi lm”
“match risky is betting” is coded as “le oi pn az”
“key to be happy” is coded as “lm dk kr fc”
“bottle life to match” is coded as “le rc st dk”
Answer following questions based on the given information:
Solution
On comparing I and II, we can infer that "is" is the common word where "oi" is the code for it. Similarly, if we compare I and III and I and IV we get the codes for "happy" and "life" as "Im" and "st".
On comparing IV with II and III, we can see that the common words are "match" and "to". The code which is common between them is "le" and "dk". Hence, the code for "match" is "le" and for "to" it is "dk". The remaining code "rc" is for Bottle and "ky" is for "forever".
The codes for the given words are as follows,
Happy - lm
is - oi
match - le
to - dk
life - st
bottle - rc
forever - ky
risky/betting = pn/az
key/be = kr/fc
The code for key/be is kr/fc. fc can be either ‘key” or “be”. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
