Here are some words translated from artificial language.
'sin co bye' means 'He is good'
'co mot det' means 'They are good'
Which code word stands for 'good' in the same artificial language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → co
A word that appears in both English sentences must have its code in both coded sentences.
‘sin co bye’ = ‘He is good’
‘co mot det’ = ‘They are good’
The only word common to both sentences: ‘good’
The only code common to both: ‘co’
So ‘co’ stands for ‘good’. The other codes cannot be fixed: ‘sin’ and ‘bye’ stand for ‘He’ and ‘is’ in some order, and ‘mot’ and ‘det’ for ‘They’ and ‘are’.
Tip: In such code-language questions, match the common words with the common codes first; the position of a code in the sentence does not matter.
