Question 34

In a certain code language, ‘Phones are burning’ is coded as ‘7 8 3’, and ‘That coach was burning’ is coded as ‘6 3 2 4’. What can be the code for ‘are’ in that language?

Solution

Phones are burning ==>7 8 3

That coach was burning ==> 6 3 2 4

In both of the statements, 'burning' is common. So this will be coded as '3'.

Now 'are' can be coded as either 7 or 8. But in the given options '7' is not available.

So the code for ‘are’ in that language is '8'.
