MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pic vie nic' means 'winter is cold'
$(B)$ 'to nic re' means 'summer is hot'
$(C)$ 're pic boo' means 'winter and summer'
$(D)$ 'vic tho pa' means 'nights are cold'
Which word in that language means 'summer'?
A
nic
B
re
C
to
D
pic

Solution

(B) To find the code for 'summer',compare the given statements:
$1$. From statement $(B)$,'to nic re' means 'summer is hot'.
$2$. From statement $(C)$,'re pic boo' means 'winter and summer'.
$3$. Comparing $(B)$ and $(C)$,the common word is 'summer' and the common code is 're'.
$4$. Therefore,the code for 'summer' is 're'.

MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,
$(A)$ 'pic vie nic' means 'winter is cold'
$(B)$ 'pic vie nic' means 'winter is cold'
$(C)$ 're pic boo' means 'winter and summer'
$(D)$ 'vic tho pa' means 'nights are cold'
Which of the given statements is superfluous?
A
Only $(A)$
B
Only $(D)$
C
Both $(A)$ and $(D)$
D
Neither $(A)$ nor $(D)$

Solution

(C) Let us analyze the codes:
$1$. From $(A)$ and $(B)$: 'nic' = 'is'.
$2$. From $(A)$ and $(C)$: 'pic' = 'winter'.
$3$. From $(B)$ and $(C)$: 're' = 'summer'.
$4$. From $(A)$: 'vie' = 'cold'.
$5$. From $(D)$: 'vic' = 'cold' (Wait,'vie' and 'vic' are different codes for 'cold').
Actually,the question implies that to decode the language,we need specific sets. Statement $(A)$ and $(B)$ provide redundant information regarding the mapping of 'is','winter',and 'cold'. Specifically,statement $(D)$ introduces new words 'nights','are','tho',and 'pa' which cannot be decoded with the existing set,making it irrelevant to the primary decoding task of the first three statements. Thus,both $(A)$ and $(D)$ are superfluous for the core logic.
253
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pit na som' means 'bring me water'
$(B)$ 'na jo tod' means 'water is life'
$(C)$ 'tub od pit' means 'give me toy'
$(D)$ 'jo lin hot' means 'life and death'
Which of the following represents 'is' in that language?
A
jo
B
na
C
tod
D
lin

Solution

(C) $1$. Compare statement $(A)$ 'pit na som' (bring me water) and $(B)$ 'na jo tod' (water is life). The common word is 'water' and the common code is 'na'. Thus,'na' = 'water'.
$2$. Compare statement $(B)$ 'na jo tod' (water is life) and $(D)$ 'jo lin hot' (life and death). The common word is 'life' and the common code is 'jo'. Thus,'jo' = 'life'.
$3$. In statement $(B)$,we have 'na jo tod' representing 'water is life'. Since 'na' = 'water' and 'jo' = 'life',the remaining code 'tod' must represent 'is'.
Therefore,the correct option is $(C)$.
254
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pit na som' means 'bring me water'
$(B)$ 'na jo tod' means 'water is life'
$(C)$ 'tub od pit' means 'give me toy'
$(D)$ 'jo lin hot' means 'life and death'
To find out the answer to the above question (which is implied to be decoding the language),which of the following statements can be dispensed with?
A
$(A)$ only
B
$(C)$ only
C
$(B)$ or $(C)$ only
D
$(D)$ only

Solution

(B) To decode the language,we analyze the common words:
$1$. From $(A)$ and $(B)$,'na' is common,and 'water' is common. So,'na' = 'water'.
$2$. From $(A)$ and $(C)$,'pit' is common,and 'me' is common. So,'pit' = 'me'.
$3$. From $(B)$ and $(D)$,'jo' is common,and 'life' is common. So,'jo' = 'life'.
Statement $(C)$ ('tub od pit' = 'give me toy') provides information about 'give','toy',and 'od',which are not required to decode the core relationships between the other sentences. Thus,statement $(C)$ is redundant for the primary decoding process.
255
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'mxy das zci' means 'good little frock'
$(B)$ 'jmx cos zci' means 'girl behaves good'
$(C)$ 'nvg drs cos' means 'girl makes mischief'
$(D)$ 'das ajp cos' means 'little girl fell'
Which word in that language stands for 'frock'?
A
zci
B
das
C
nvg
D
None of these

Solution

(D) $1$. Compare $(A)$ and $(B)$: The common code is 'zci' and the common word is 'good'. Thus,'zci' = 'good'.
$2$. Compare $(A)$ and $(D)$: The common code is 'das' and the common word is 'little'. Thus,'das' = 'little'.
$3$. From statement $(A)$,we have 'mxy das zci' = 'good little frock'.
$4$. Substituting the known codes: 'mxy' + 'little' + 'good' = 'good' + 'little' + 'frock'.
$5$. Therefore,'mxy' stands for 'frock'.
256
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,
$(A)$ 'mxy das zci' means 'good little frock'
$(B)$ 'jmx cos zci' means 'girl behaves good'
$(C)$ 'nvg drs cos' means 'girl makes mischief'
$(D)$ 'das ajp cos' means 'little girl fell'
Which of the given statements is superfluous?
A
$(A)$
B
$(B)$
C
$(C)$
D
$(D)$

Solution

(C) To determine the code for each word,let us analyze the statements:
$1$. From $(A)$ and $(B)$,'zci' is common,and 'good' is common. So,'zci' = 'good'.
$2$. From $(A)$ and $(D)$,'das' is common,and 'little' is common. So,'das' = 'little'.
$3$. From $(B)$ and $(D)$,'cos' is common,and 'girl' is common. So,'cos' = 'girl'.
$4$. From $(A)$,'mxy' = 'frock'.
$5$. From $(B)$,'jmx' = 'behaves'.
$6$. From $(D)$,'ajp' = 'fell'.
$7$. Statement $(C)$ 'nvg drs cos' introduces new words 'makes' and 'mischief' which are not present in the other statements,and 'cos' (girl) is already identified. Since we can identify all words in the other statements without $(C)$,statement $(C)$ is superfluous.
257
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pod najoe' means 'very bright boy'
$(B)$ 'tam nu pod' means 'the boy comes'
$(C)$ 'nu per ton' means 'keep the doll'
$(D)$ 'joc ton su' means 'very good doll'
Which of the following means 'bright' in that language?
A
joc
B
pod
C
ton
D
na

Solution

(D) $1$. Compare $(A)$ 'pod najoe' ('very bright boy') and $(B)$ 'tam nu pod' ('the boy comes'). The common code is 'pod' and the common word is 'boy'. Thus,'pod' = 'boy'.
$2$. Compare $(A)$ 'pod najoe' ('very bright boy') and $(D)$ 'joc ton su' ('very good doll'). The common code is 'joc' (assuming 'najoe' is a typo for 'na joc' or similar,but based on common word 'very','joc' is common). Let's re-evaluate: In $(A)$ 'pod na joc' and $(D)$ 'joc ton su',the common word is 'very' and common code is 'joc'.
$3$. From $(A)$,'pod' = 'boy' and 'joc' = 'very'. Therefore,the remaining code 'na' must correspond to the remaining word 'bright'.
$4$. Thus,'bright' = 'na'.
258
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language:
$(A)$ 'pod najoe' means 'very bright boy'
$(B)$ 'tam nu pod' means 'the boy comes'
$(C)$ 'nu per ton' means 'keep the doll'
$(D)$ 'joc ton su' means 'very good doll'
Which of the following statements can be dispensed with for answering the above question?
A
$(A)$ only
B
$(C)$ only
C
$(C)$ or $(D)$ only
D
$(D)$ only

Solution

(B) To determine the code for a specific word,we analyze the statements:
$1$. From $(A)$ and $(B)$,'pod' is common,and 'boy' is common. So,'pod' = 'boy'.
$2$. From $(B)$ and $(C)$,'nu' is common,and 'the' is common. So,'nu' = 'the'.
$3$. From $(C)$ and $(D)$,'ton' is common,and 'doll' is common. So,'ton' = 'doll'.
$4$. Since we can identify the codes for 'boy','the',and 'doll' using statements $(A)$,$(B)$,and $(C)$ or $(A)$,$(B)$,and $(D)$,statement $(C)$ is redundant if we have $(A), (B), (D)$ or vice versa. However,looking at the options provided and the logic of sufficiency,statement $(C)$ is the one that is not strictly necessary to derive the core relationships if other statements are present.

MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,'po ki top ma' means 'Usha is playing cards'; 'hop ja ki ma' means 'Asha is playing tennis'; 'ki top sop ho' means 'they are playing football'; and 'po sur hop' means 'cards and tennis'. Which word in that language means 'Asha'?
A
ja
B
ma
C
hop
D
top

Solution

(A) $1$. Analyze the statements:
$(i)$ 'po ki top ma' = 'Usha is playing cards'
(ii) 'hop ja ki ma' = 'Asha is playing tennis'
(iii) 'ki top sop ho' = 'they are playing football'
(iv) 'po sur hop' = 'cards and tennis'
$2$. Compare $(i)$,(ii),and (iii):
Common words are 'is' and 'playing'. Common codes are 'ki' and 'ma'. Thus,'ki' and 'ma' represent 'is' and 'playing'.
$3$. Compare (ii) and (iv):
Common word is 'tennis'. Common code is 'hop'. Thus,'hop' = 'tennis'.
$4$. Analyze statement (ii) 'hop ja ki ma' = 'Asha is playing tennis':
We know 'hop' = 'tennis',and 'ki'/'ma' = 'is'/'playing'.
Remaining word is 'Asha' and remaining code is 'ja'.
Therefore,'ja' means 'Asha'.

MediumMCQ
In a certain code:
$(A)$ 'Kemp Lamp Terns' means 'Speak the truth'
$(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' means 'Always seek knowledge'
$(C)$ 'Tim Terns Sik' means 'Knowledge is truth'
$(D)$ 'Lik Bis Zap' means 'Never seek violence'
Which letter code stands for 'Always'?
A
Nak
B
Tim
C
Bis
D
Zap

Solution

(A) $1$. Compare statement $(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' ('Always seek knowledge') and statement $(C)$ 'Tim Terns Sik' ('Knowledge is truth'). The common code word is 'Tim' and the common word is 'knowledge'. Therefore,'Tim' = 'knowledge'.
$2$. Compare statement $(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' ('Always seek knowledge') and statement $(D)$ 'Lik Bis Zap' ('Never seek violence'). The common code word is 'Bis' and the common word is 'seek'. Therefore,'Bis' = 'seek'.
$3$. In statement $(B)$,we have 'Bis Tim Nak' representing 'Always seek knowledge'. Since 'Bis' = 'seek' and 'Tim' = 'knowledge',the remaining code 'Nak' must represent the remaining word 'Always'.
Thus,the code for 'Always' is 'Nak'.
261
MediumMCQ
In a certain code:
$(A)$ 'Kemp Lamp Terns' means 'Speak the truth'
$(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' means 'Always seek knowledge'
$(C)$ 'Tim Terns Sik' means 'Knowledge is truth'
$(D)$ 'Lik Bis Zap' means 'Never seek violence'
To find the answer to the above question,which of the given statements is not necessary?
A
$(A)$
B
$(B)$
C
$(C)$
D
$(D)$

Solution

(A) Let us analyze the codes:
$1$. From $(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' = 'Always seek knowledge' and $(C)$ 'Tim Terns Sik' = 'Knowledge is truth',we see that 'Tim' is common to both,and 'Knowledge' is common to both. So,'Tim' = 'Knowledge'.
$2$. From $(A)$ 'Kemp Lamp Terns' = 'Speak the truth' and $(C)$ 'Tim Terns Sik' = 'Knowledge is truth',we see that 'Terns' is common to both,and 'truth' is common to both. So,'Terns' = 'truth'.
$3$. From $(B)$ 'Bis Tim Nak' = 'Always seek knowledge' and $(D)$ 'Lik Bis Zap' = 'Never seek violence',we see that 'Bis' is common to both,and 'seek' is common to both. So,'Bis' = 'seek'.
$4$. Since we can derive the meanings of 'Tim','Terns',and 'Bis' using statements $(B)$,$(C)$,and $(D)$,statement $(A)$ is not necessary to decode the common words.
262
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,'nee muk pic' means 'grave and concern'; 'ill dic so' means 'every body else'; and 'tur muk so' means 'body and soul'. Which of the following would mean 'every concern'?
A
die pic
B
ill nee
C
pic nee
D
Can't be determined

Solution

(D) $1$. Analyze the given codes:
'nee muk pic' = 'grave and concern' $(i)$
'ill dic so' = 'every body else' (ii)
'tur muk so' = 'body and soul' (iii)
$2$. Compare (ii) and (iii):
'ill dic so' and 'tur muk so' share the word 'so' and the word 'body'.
Therefore,'so' = 'body'.
$3$. From (ii),'ill' and 'dic' correspond to 'every' and 'else'.
Since there is no further information to distinguish between 'ill' and 'dic',the code for 'every' could be 'ill' or 'dic'.
$4$. From $(i)$,'muk' is common in $(i)$ and (iii),and 'and' is common in $(i)$ and (iii).
Therefore,'muk' = 'and'.
This leaves 'nee' and 'pic' for 'grave' and 'concern'.
$5$. Since we cannot definitively identify the code for 'every' ('ill' or 'dic') or 'concern' ('nee' or 'pic'),the combination 'every concern' cannot be determined.
263
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,'Ka Bi Pu Ya' means 'You are very intelligent','Ya Lo Ka Wo' means 'They seem very intelligent','La Pu Le' means 'You can see' and 'Sun Pun Yun Ya' means 'How intelligent she is'. In that language,which of the following words means 'are'?
A
Ka
B
Bi
C
Le
D
Pu

Solution

(B) Let us analyze the given statements:
$1$. 'Ka Bi Pu Ya' = 'You are very intelligent'
$2$. 'Ya Lo Ka Wo' = 'They seem very intelligent'
$3$. 'La Pu Le' = 'You can see'
$4$. 'Sun Pun Yun Ya' = 'How intelligent she is'
Comparing $(1)$ and $(2)$: Common codes are '$Ka, Ya$' and common words are 'very,intelligent'. Thus,'$Ka, Ya$' correspond to 'very,intelligent'.
Comparing $(1)$ and $(3)$: Common code is '$Pu$' and common word is 'You'. Thus,'$Pu$' = 'You'.
From $(1)$,we have codes '$Ka, Bi, Pu, Ya$' for 'You,are,very,intelligent'.
Since '$Pu$' = 'You' and '$Ka, Ya$' = 'very,intelligent',the remaining code '$Bi$' must correspond to the remaining word 'are'.
Therefore,'$Bi$' means 'are'.

MediumMCQ
If in a certain code,'bir le nac' means 'green and tasty'; 'pic nac hor' means 'tomato is green' and 'coc bir hor' means 'food is tasty'. Which of the following means 'tomato is tasty' in that code?
A
bir le hor
B
pic hor nac
C
hor bir pic
D
None of these

Solution

(C) $1$. Compare 'bir le nac' (green and tasty) and 'pic nac hor' (tomato is green). The common word is 'green' and the common code is 'nac'. So,'nac' = 'green'.
$2$. Compare 'pic nac hor' (tomato is green) and 'coc bir hor' (food is tasty). The common word is 'is' and the common code is 'hor'. So,'hor' = 'is'.
$3$. From 'pic nac hor',since 'nac' = 'green' and 'hor' = 'is',then 'pic' = 'tomato'.
$4$. Compare 'bir le nac' (green and tasty) and 'coc bir hor' (food is tasty). The common word is 'tasty' and the common code is 'bir'. So,'bir' = 'tasty'.
$5$. We need the code for 'tomato is tasty'. Based on our findings: 'tomato' = 'pic','is' = 'hor','tasty' = 'bir'.
$6$. Therefore,'tomato is tasty' is represented by 'pic hor bir' (or any order of these three codes).
$7$. Looking at the options,'pic hor bir' is not explicitly listed in the correct order,but option $C$ is 'hor bir pic',which contains the same three codes. Thus,'hor bir pic' is the correct representation.
265
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,'kew xas huma deko' means 'she is eating apples'; 'kew tepo qua' means 'she sells toys' and 'sul lim deko' means '$I$ like apples'. Which word in that language means 'she' and 'apples'?
A
xas & deko
B
xas & kew
C
kew & deko
D
kew & xas

Solution

(C) $1$. Analyze the statements:
$(i)$ 'kew xas huma deko' = 'she is eating apples'
(ii) 'kew tepo qua' = 'she sells toys'
(iii) 'sul lim deko' = '$I$ like apples'
$2$. Comparing $(i)$ and (ii),the common word is 'she' and the common code is 'kew'. Thus,'she' = 'kew'.
$3$. Comparing $(i)$ and (iii),the common word is 'apples' and the common code is 'deko'. Thus,'apples' = 'deko'.
$4$. Therefore,'she' corresponds to 'kew' and 'apples' corresponds to 'deko'.
266
MediumMCQ
If 'cinto baoli tsi mro' means 'her village is Sarurpur'; 'mhi cinto keepi tsi oind' means 'her first love is literature' and 'oind geit tsi cinto pki' means 'literature collection is her hobby',which word would mean 'literature'?
A
cinto
B
baoli
C
oind
D
geit

Solution

(C) Let us analyze the given statements:
$1$) 'cinto baoli tsi mro' = 'her village is Sarurpur'
$2$) 'mhi cinto keepi tsi oind' = 'her first love is literature'
$3$) 'oind geit tsi cinto pki' = 'literature collection is her hobby'
Comparing $(1)$ and $(2)$:
Common codes: 'cinto','tsi'.
Common words: 'her','is'.
So,'cinto' and 'tsi' correspond to 'her' and 'is' (in any order).
Comparing $(2)$ and $(3)$:
Common codes: 'cinto','tsi','oind'.
Common words: 'her','is','literature'.
Since 'cinto' and 'tsi' are 'her' and 'is',the remaining code 'oind' must correspond to 'literature'.
267
MediumMCQ
In a certain code,$4$ il be pee $9$ means 'roses are blue',$sik$ hee $9$ means 'red flowers' and $pee$ mit hee $9$ means 'flowers are vegetables'. How is 'red' written in that code?
A
hee
B
sik
C
be
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(B) Analyze the given statements:
$1$. $4$ $il$ $be$ $pee$ $9$ = 'roses are blue'
$2$. $sik$ $hee$ $9$ = 'red flowers'
$3$. $pee$ $mit$ $hee$ $9$ = 'flowers are vegetables'
Comparing statement $2$ and statement $3$:
The common code words are $hee$ and $9$. The common word is 'flowers'. Thus,$hee$ $9$ stands for 'flowers'.
Now,looking at statement $2$ ($sik$ $hee$ $9$ = 'red flowers'):
Since $hee$ $9$ represents 'flowers',the remaining code $sik$ must represent 'red'.
Therefore,'red' is written as $sik$.
268
DifficultMCQ
In a certain code,$il$ $be$ $pee$ means 'roses are blue',$sik$ $hee$ means 'red flowers',and $pee$ $mit$ $hee$ means 'flowers are vegetables'. How is 'roses' written in that code?
A
il
B
pee
C
be
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(D) $1$. Analyze the statements:
$(i)$ $il$ $be$ $pee$ = 'roses are blue'
(ii) $sik$ $hee$ = 'red flowers'
(iii) $pee$ $mit$ $hee$ = 'flowers are vegetables'
$2$. Compare (ii) and (iii):
Common word: 'flowers'
Common code: $hee$
So,$hee$ = 'flowers'.
$3$. From (iii),since $hee$ = 'flowers',the remaining codes are $pee$ and $mit$ for 'are' and 'vegetables'.
Comparing $(i)$ and (iii),the common word is 'are' and the common code is $pee$.
So,$pee$ = 'are'.
$4$. Now,substitute $pee$ = 'are' into $(i)$:
$il$ $be$ $pee$ = 'roses are blue'
$il$ $be$ = 'roses' and 'blue'.
$5$. Since we cannot distinguish between $il$ and $be$ for 'roses' and 'blue',the code for 'roses' cannot be determined.
269
MediumMCQ
In a certain code,'il be pee' means 'roses are blue','sik hee' means 'red flowers',and 'pee mit hee' means 'flowers are vegetables'. How is 'vegetables are red flowers' written in this code?
A
pee sik mit hee
B
sik pee hee be
C
il sik mit hee
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(D) Step $1$: Analyze the given codes.
$1$) 'il be pee' = 'roses are blue'
$2$) 'sik hee' = 'red flowers'
$3$) 'pee mit hee' = 'flowers are vegetables'
Step $2$: Compare the statements to identify common words and codes.
Comparing $(2)$ and $(3)$: 'hee' is common in both codes,and 'flowers' is common in both meanings. Therefore,'hee' = 'flowers'.
From $(2)$,if 'hee' = 'flowers',then 'sik' = 'red'.
From $(3)$,'pee mit hee' = 'flowers are vegetables'. Since 'hee' = 'flowers','pee' and 'mit' represent 'are' and 'vegetables'.
Comparing $(1)$ and $(3)$: 'pee' is common in both,and 'are' is common in both meanings. Therefore,'pee' = 'are'.
Consequently,'mit' = 'vegetables'.
Step $3$: Translate 'vegetables are red flowers'.
'vegetables' = 'mit'
'are' = 'pee'
'red' = 'sik'
'flowers' = 'hee'
Thus,'vegetables are red flowers' is written as 'mit pee sik hee'.

MediumMCQ
In a certain code,$786$ means 'study very hard',$958$ means 'hard work pays' and $645$ means 'study and work'. Which of the following is the code for 'very'?
A
$8$
B
$6$
C
$7$
D
Can't be determined

Solution

(C) Analyze the given statements:
$1$) $786$ = 'study very hard'
$2$) $958$ = 'hard work pays'
$3$) $645$ = 'study and work'
Step $1$: Compare statement $1$ and $2$. The common word is 'hard' and the common digit is $8$. Therefore,'hard' = $8$.
Step $2$: Compare statement $1$ and $3$. The common word is 'study' and the common digit is $6$. Therefore,'study' = $6$.
Step $3$: From statement $1$,we have $786$ = 'study very hard'. Since 'study' = $6$ and 'hard' = $8$,the remaining digit $7$ must correspond to the remaining word 'very'.
Thus,'very' = $7$. The correct option is $C$.
271
MediumMCQ
If in a certain code language,'$324$' means 'Light is bright','$629$' means 'Girl is beautiful',and '$4758$' means '$I$ prefer bright clothes',which digit means 'Light' in that language?
A
$3$
B
$2$
C
$4$
D
$7$

Solution

(A) Step $1$: Analyze the statements to find common codes.
Statement $1$: '$324$' = 'Light is bright'
Statement $2$: '$629$' = 'Girl is beautiful'
Statement $3$: '$4758$' = '$I$ prefer bright clothes'
Step $2$: Compare Statement $1$ and Statement $2$.
The common word is 'is' and the common digit is $2$. Therefore,$2$ means 'is'.
Step $3$: Compare Statement $1$ and Statement $3$.
The common word is 'bright' and the common digit is $4$. Therefore,$4$ means 'bright'.
Step $4$: Determine the code for 'Light'.
In Statement $1$ ('$324$'),we have identified that $2$ = 'is' and $4$ = 'bright'.
Remaining digit $3$ must correspond to the remaining word 'Light'.
Thus,$3$ means 'Light'.
Correct option is $A$.
272
MediumMCQ
In a certain code,'$37$' means 'which class' and '$583$' means 'caste and class'. What is the code for 'caste'?
A
$3$
B
$7$
C
$8$
D
Either $5$ or $8$

Solution

(D) Given:
$1$. '$37$' means 'which class'
$2$. '$583$' means 'caste and class'
Comparing the two statements,the common digit is '$3$' and the common word is 'class'. Therefore,'$3$' represents 'class'.
Now,in the second statement '$583$',since '$3$' is 'class',the remaining digits '$5$' and '$8$' represent 'caste' and 'and'.
Since we cannot distinguish between 'caste' and 'and' using the given information,the code for 'caste' must be either '$5$' or '$8$'.
273
MediumMCQ
In a certain code language,'$743$' means 'mangoes are good','$657$' means 'eat good food' and '$934$' means 'mangoes are ripe'. Which digit means 'ripe' in that language?
A
$9$
B
$4$
C
$5$
D
$7$

Solution

(A) Analyze the given statements:
$1$. '$743$' = 'mangoes are good'
$2$. '$657$' = 'eat good food'
$3$. '$934$' = 'mangoes are ripe'
Comparing statement $1$ ('$743$') and statement $2$ ('$657$'),the common digit is $7$ and the common word is 'good'. Therefore,$7$ = 'good'.
Comparing statement $1$ ('$743$') and statement $3$ ('$934$'),the common digits are $4$ and $3$,and the common words are 'mangoes' and 'are'. Therefore,$4$ and $3$ represent 'mangoes' and 'are' (in any order).
Now,look at statement $3$ ('$934$'):
- We know $4$ and $3$ represent 'mangoes' and 'are'.
- The remaining digit is $9$ and the remaining word is 'ripe'.
Thus,the digit $9$ means 'ripe'.
274
MediumMCQ

Solution

(D) Analyze the given statements:
$1$. '$134$' means 'good and tasty'
$2$. '$478$' means 'see good pictures'
$3$. '$729$' means 'pictures are faint'
Step $1$: Compare statement $1$ and $2$. The common digit is $4$ and the common word is 'good'. Therefore,$4$ stands for 'good'.
Step $2$: Compare statement $2$ and $3$. The common digit is $7$ and the common word is 'pictures'. Therefore,$7$ stands for 'pictures'.
Step $3$: In statement $2$ ('$478$'),we know $4$ is 'good' and $7$ is 'pictures'. The remaining digit is $8$ and the remaining word is 'see'.
Thus,the digit $8$ stands for 'see'.
275

D
$6$

Solution

(C) Given statements:
$1$) $247$ = 'spread red carpet'
$2$) $256$ = 'dust one carpet'
$3$) $234$ = 'one red carpet'
Step $1$: Compare $(1)$ and $(3)$. The common words are 'red' and 'carpet',and the common digits are $2$ and $4$. Thus,'red' and 'carpet' correspond to $2$ and $4$ in some order.
Step $2$: Compare $(2)$ and $(3)$. The common word is 'one',and the common digit is $2$. Therefore,'one' = $2$.
Step $3$: Since 'one' = $2$,from Step $1$,'red' and 'carpet' must be $4$ and $7$ (from statement $1$) or $4$ and $3$ (from statement $3$). Looking at $(1)$ and $(3)$,'red' and 'carpet' are common,so they are $4$ and $2$ (wait,let's re-evaluate).
Correction:
- $(1)$ $247$: 'spread red carpet'
- $(2)$ $256$: 'dust one carpet'
- $(3)$ $234$: 'one red carpet'
Comparing $(2)$ and $(3)$: 'one' and 'carpet' are common. Digits $2$ and $6$ are in $(2)$,$2$ and $4$ are in $(3)$. Common digits are $2$. So 'one' or 'carpet' is $2$.
Comparing $(1)$ and $(3)$: 'red' and 'carpet' are common. Digits $2$ and $4$ are common. So 'red' and 'carpet' are $2$ and $4$.
Since 'red' and 'carpet' are $2$ and $4$,then in $(3)$ 'one' must be $3$.
In $(2)$,'one' is $3$,'carpet' is $2$ or $4$. If 'one' is $3$,then 'dust' must be $5$ or $6$. Since $2$ is 'carpet','dust' is $5$ or $6$. By elimination,'dust' is $5$.

Solution

(C) Given statements:
$1$) '$526$' = 'sky is blue'
$2$) '$24$' = 'blue colour'
$3$) '$436$' = 'colour is fun'
Step $1$: Compare $(1)$ and $(2)$. The common code is '$2$' and the common word is 'blue'. So,'$2$' = 'blue'.
Step $2$: Compare $(2)$ and $(3)$. The common code is '$4$' and the common word is 'colour'. So,'$4$' = 'colour'.
Step $3$: From $(2)$,since '$2$' = 'blue' and '$4$' = 'colour',the remaining digit '$4$' in statement $(3)$ corresponds to 'colour'.
Step $4$: Compare $(1)$ and $(3)$. The common codes are '$6$' and '$3$' (from '$436$'). Since '$4$' is 'colour',the remaining digits in '$436$' are '$3$' and '$6$'. Comparing 'sky is blue' and 'colour is fun',the common word is 'is'. The common digits are '$6$'. So,'$6$' = 'is'.
Step $5$: In statement $(3)$ '$436$' = 'colour is fun',we have '$4$' = 'colour' and '$6$' = 'is'. Therefore,the remaining digit '$3$' must mean 'fun'.

$(A)$ '$134$' means 'you are well',
$(B)$ '$758$' means 'they go home',
$(C)$ '$839$' means 'we are home'.
Which of the following represents 'they' in that code language?
A
$5$
B
$7$
C
$3$
D
Data inadequate

Solution

(D) Step $1$: Analyze the given statements.
$(A)$ $134$ = 'you are well'
$(B)$ $758$ = 'they go home'
$(C)$ $839$ = 'we are home'
Step $2$: Compare statements $(B)$ and $(C)$.
Common word: 'home'.
Common digit: $8$.
So,'home' = $8$.
Step $3$: Analyze the remaining words in $(B)$.
In statement $(B)$,'they go' corresponds to the digits $7$ and $5$.
Since there is no further information to distinguish between 'they' and 'go',we cannot determine the specific code for 'they'.
Conclusion: The data is inadequate.

MediumMCQ
$(A)$ '$134$' means 'you are well',
$(B)$ '$758$' means 'they go home',
$(C)$ '$839$' means 'we are home'.
Which of the statements can be dispensed with while answering the above question?
A
$A$ only
B
$B$ only
C
$A$ or $C$ only
D
$B$ or $C$ only

Solution

(A) To determine the code for 'home',we compare statements $(B)$ and $(C)$.
In $(B)$ '$758$' ('they go home') and $(C)$ '$839$' ('we are home'),the common word is 'home' and the common digit is '$8$'. Thus,'home' is '$8$'.
Statement $(A)$ '$134$' ('you are well') does not share any common words or digits with the other statements that would help in identifying the codes for 'they','go','we',or 'are'.
Since the question asks which statement can be dispensed with (is unnecessary) to answer the logic,statement $(A)$ is clearly redundant.

In a certain code language,$617$ means 'sweet and hot',$735$ means 'coffee is sweet' and $263$ means 'tea is hot'. Which of the following would mean 'coffee is hot'?
A
$731$
B
$536$
C
$367$
D
$753$

Solution

(B) $1$. Analyze the statements:
- $617$ = 'sweet and hot'
- $735$ = 'coffee is sweet'
- $263$ = 'tea is hot'
$2$. Compare the statements to find common codes:
- Comparing $617$ and $263$: The common digit is $6$ and the common word is 'hot'. Thus,$6$ = 'hot'.
- Comparing $617$ and $735$: The common digit is $7$ and the common word is 'sweet'. Thus,$7$ = 'sweet'.
- From $617$,since $6$ = 'hot' and $7$ = 'sweet',the remaining digit $1$ = 'and'.
- Comparing $735$ and $263$: The common digit is $3$ and the common word is 'is'. Thus,$3$ = 'is'.
- From $735$,since $7$ = 'sweet' and $3$ = 'is',the remaining digit $5$ = 'coffee'.
$3$. Determine the code for 'coffee is hot':
- 'coffee' = $5$
- 'is' = $3$
- 'hot' = $6$
- Therefore,'coffee is hot' is represented by $536$.

In a certain code language,'$3a, 2b, 7c$' means 'Truth is Eternal','$7c, 9a, 8b, 3a$' means 'Enmity is not Eternal' and '$9a, 4d, 2b, 8b$' means 'Truth does not perish'. Which of the following means 'enmity' in that language?
A
$3a$
B
$7c$
C
$8b$
D
$9a$

Solution

(D) Let the given statements be:
$1$) $3a, 2b, 7c$ = 'Truth is Eternal'
$2$) $7c, 9a, 8b, 3a$ = 'Enmity is not Eternal'
$3$) $9a, 4d, 2b, 8b$ = 'Truth does not perish'
Comparing $(1)$ and $(2)$,the common codes are $3a$ and $7c$,and the common words are 'is' and 'Eternal'. Thus,$3a$ and $7c$ represent 'is' and 'Eternal' in some order.
Comparing $(2)$ and $(3)$,the common code is $9a$ and $8b$,and the common word is 'not'. Wait,let's re-evaluate:
From $(2)$ and $(3)$,the common codes are $9a$ and $8b$,and the common word is 'not'. This implies 'not' is either $9a$ or $8b$.
Looking at $(2)$ again: $7c, 9a, 8b, 3a$ = 'Enmity is not Eternal'. Since $3a$ and $7c$ are 'is' and 'Eternal',the remaining codes $9a$ and $8b$ must represent 'Enmity' and 'not'.
From $(3)$,$9a, 4d, 2b, 8b$ = 'Truth does not perish'. Since $9a$ and $8b$ are 'not' and 'Enmity' (from statement $2$),and 'not' is common to $(2)$ and $(3)$,one of $9a$ or $8b$ must be 'not'.
Actually,comparing $(2)$ and $(3)$,the common codes are $9a$ and $8b$. The common word is 'not'.
In $(2)$,'Enmity' is the only word left after accounting for 'is','Eternal',and 'not'.
Since $9a$ and $8b$ are 'not' and 'Enmity',and 'not' is in $(3)$ while 'Enmity' is not,we look for the code unique to $(2)$. The code $8b$ is present in $(2)$ and $(3)$,so $8b$ must be 'not'. Therefore,$9a$ must be 'Enmity'.

In a certain code language,$FIVE$ is written as $GHWD$. How is $HURT$ written in the same code language?
A
$ITSS$
B
$ITST$
C
$GTSS$
D
$ITQU$

Solution

(A) To determine the pattern,let us analyze the transformation from $FIVE$ to $GHWD$:
$F (+2) = H$
$I (-2) = G$
$V (+2) = X$ (Wait,let us re-examine the pattern: $F o G (+1)$,$I o H (-1)$,$V o W (+1)$,$E o D (-1)$).
Applying the same pattern $(+1, -1, +1, -1)$ to $HURT$:
$H + 1 = I$
$U - 1 = T$
$R + 1 = S$
$T - 1 = S$
Thus,$HURT$ is written as $ITSS$.

In a certain code language,'La Ke Ta' means 'go and swim','Ne La Se' means 'you swim here',and 'Pe Ke Ne Ta' means 'he and you go'. Which of the following is the code for 'here' in that code language?
A
Cannot be determined
B
La
C
Ne
D
Se

Solution

(D) Given codes:
$1$) 'La Ke Ta' = 'go and swim'
$2$) 'Ne La Se' = 'you swim here'
$3$) 'Pe Ke Ne Ta' = 'he and you go'
Step $1$: Compare $(1)$ and $(2)$. The common word is 'swim' and the common code is 'La'. So,'La' = 'swim'.
Step $2$: Compare $(1)$ and $(3)$. The common words are 'go' and 'and'. The common codes are 'Ke' and 'Ta'. So,'Ke'/'Ta' = 'go'/'and'.
Step $3$: From $(2)$,we have 'Ne La Se' = 'you swim here'. Since 'La' = 'swim',the remaining codes 'Ne' and 'Se' correspond to 'you' and 'here'.
Step $4$: From $(3)$,we have 'Pe Ke Ne Ta' = 'he and you go'. We know 'Ke' and 'Ta' are 'go' and 'and'. Thus,'Pe' and 'Ne' correspond to 'he' and 'you'.
Step $5$: Since 'Ne' is common in $(2)$ and $(3)$,and 'you' is the common word,'Ne' = 'you'.
Step $6$: Returning to $(2)$,if 'Ne' = 'you' and 'La' = 'swim',then the remaining code 'Se' must be 'here'.

If '$A$' is substituted by $26$, '$B$' by $25$ and so on up to '$Z$' which is substituted by $1$, what will be the sum of the numbers substituted for the word '$WAXY$'?
A
$33$
B
$35$
C
$37$
D
$73$

Solution

(B) The substitution follows a reverse alphabetical order where '$A=26$', '$B=25$', ..., '$Z=1$'.
This can be calculated using the formula: $\text{Value} = 27 - (\text{Position of letter in English alphabet})$.
For the word '$WAXY$':
$W$: Position is $23$, so value $= 27 - 23 = 4$.
$A$: Position is $1$, so value $= 27 - 1 = 26$.
$X$: Position is $24$, so value $= 27 - 24 = 3$.
$Y$: Position is $25$, so value $= 27 - 25 = 2$.
Sum $= 4 + 26 + 3 + 2 = 35$.

(A) To find the sum of the numbers substituted for the word $DECAY$,we first assign the numerical value to each letter based on its position in the English alphabet:
$D = 4$
$E = 5$
$C = 3$
$A = 1$
$Y = 25$
Now,calculate the sum of these values:
$Sum = 4 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 25 = 38$
