Question:

In a certain code language; 'pit dar na' means 'you are good', 'dar took pa' means 'good and bad' and 'tim na took' means 'they are bad', then in that language, which word stands for 'they':

Options:

na

tok

tim

pit

Correct Answer:

tim

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → tim

1. Compare Phrases 1 and 2:

  • 'pit dar na' = 'you are good'
  • 'dar took pa' = 'good and bad'
  • Result: The common word is 'dar' and the common meaning is 'good'. So, dar = good.

2. Compare Phrases 2 and 3:

  • 'dar took pa' = 'good and bad'
  • 'tim na took' = 'they are bad'
  • Result: The common word is 'took' and the common meaning is 'bad'. So, took = bad.

3. Compare Phrases 1 and 3:

  • 'pit dar na' = 'you are good'
  • 'tim na took' = 'they are bad'
  • Result: The common word is 'na' and the common meaning is 'are'. So, na = are.

4. Isolate "they" in Phrase 3:

  • Phrase 3 is: 'tim na took' = 'they are bad'
  • We already know: na = are and took = bad.
  • The only remaining word in the code is tim, and the only remaining word in the meaning is they
