In a certain code language, 'it bit pit' means 'I am student' and 'it mit pit' means 'I am poet'. Which of the following means 'poet'?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → mit
A word that appears in both coded sentences stands for a word that appears in both meanings, so the common words are paired off first; what is left over in each sentence gives its own word.
‘it bit pit’ = ‘I am student’ and ‘it mit pit’ = ‘I am poet’
Common to both: ‘it’ and ‘pit’ in the code, ‘I’ and ‘am’ in the meaning
Left in the first: ‘bit’ = ‘student’
Left in the second: ‘mit’ = ‘poet’
