Artificial language is given for sentences, so find the correct artificial language for the asked sentence.
‘zongo talb’ means Leave Application
‘txlo zongo’ means Sunday Leave
‘pokto zongo’ means Festival Leave
What does ‘Indian Festival’ represent in that language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → pokto bueot
A word that is common to two meanings has the code that is common to the two codes. The word order differs from phrase to phrase (‘zongo’ comes first once and second twice), so only the words matter, not their places.
‘zongo’ is in all three codes and ‘Leave’ in all three meanings, so zongo = Leave
‘zongo talb’ = Leave Application, so talb = Application
‘txlo zongo’ = Sunday Leave, so txlo = Sunday
‘pokto zongo’ = Festival Leave, so pokto = Festival
‘Indian’ has not appeared before, so its code is a new word, not zongo, talb or txlo. The code for ‘Indian Festival’ must therefore have pokto and one new word: only pokto bueot fits, with bueot for Indian.
