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?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Given; 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’.
As per our observations,
--> Code for burning is 3 because it is common on both strings thus, 01 is not answer.
--> And, option 2 and 4 is eliminated because these codes are related to 2nd string
--> Only option 3 is possible, because 3 or 7 is code for 'are' but as per the optons we have 8
Thus, the code for are is 8
