If 'sti nro kti' stands for 'clouds pour down','nro bsi mit' stands for 'down he goes' and 'bsi nro zpi' stands for 'died down he',which word would mean 'goes'?
A
nro
B
mit
C
kti
D
bsi

Solution

(B) $1$. Compare the first and second statements: 'sti nro kti' (clouds pour down) and 'nro bsi mit' (down he goes). The common code is 'nro' and the common word is 'down'. Therefore,'nro' = 'down'.
$2$. Compare the second and third statements: 'nro bsi mit' (down he goes) and 'bsi nro zpi' (died down he). The common codes are 'nro' and 'bsi',and the common words are 'down' and 'he'. Since we know 'nro' = 'down',it follows that 'bsi' = 'he'.
$3$. Now,look at the second statement again: 'nro bsi mit' = 'down he goes'. We have identified 'nro' as 'down' and 'bsi' as 'he'. Thus,the remaining code 'mit' must correspond to the remaining word 'goes'.
Conclusion: 'mit' means 'goes'.

In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pit dar na' means 'you are good'
$(B)$ 'dar tok pa' means 'good and bad'
$(C)$ 'tim na tok' means 'they are bad'
In that language,which word stands for 'they'?
A
na
B
tok
C
tim
D
pit

Solution

(C) Analyze the given statements:
$1$. 'pit dar na' = 'you are good'
$2$. 'dar tok pa' = 'good and bad'
$3$. 'tim na tok' = 'they are bad'
Step $1$: Compare $(A)$ and $(C)$. The common word is 'are' and the common code is 'na'. Thus,'na' = 'are'.
Step $2$: Compare $(B)$ and $(C)$. The common word is 'bad' and the common code is 'tok'. Thus,'tok' = 'bad'.
Step $3$: In statement $(C)$,'tim na tok' = 'they are bad'. Since 'na' = 'are' and 'tok' = 'bad',the remaining word 'tim' must stand for 'they'.

In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pit dar na' means 'you are good';
$(B)$ 'dar tok pa' means 'good and bad';
$(C)$ 'Him na tok' means 'they are bad'.
To find the answer to the above question,which of the following statements can be dispensed with?
A
Only $(A)$
B
Only $(B)$
C
$(A)$ or $(B)$
D
None of these

Solution

(D) To determine the meaning of each word in the code language,we must analyze the statements:
$1$. From $(A)$ and $(B)$,'dar' is common,and 'good' is common. So,'dar' = 'good'.
$2$. From $(B)$ and $(C)$,'tok' is common,and 'bad' is common. So,'tok' = 'bad'.
$3$. From $(A)$,since 'dar' = 'good','pit na' means 'you are'.
$4$. From $(C)$,since 'tok' = 'bad','Him na' means 'they are'.
$5$. Comparing 'pit na' and 'Him na','na' is common,and 'are' is common. So,'na' = 'are'.
$6$. Consequently,'pit' = 'you','pa' = 'and',and 'Him' = 'they'.
Since all three statements $(A)$,$(B)$,and $(C)$ are required to decode all the words,none of the statements can be dispensed with.
