In this type of questions, some messages are given in the coded language and the code for a particular word or message is asked. To analyse such codes, any two messages bearing a common word are picked up. The common code-word will thus represent that word. Proceeding similarly by picking up all possible combinations of two, the entire message can be decoded and the codes for individual words found.

In a certain language, 'sun shines brightly' is written as'ba lo sul', 'houses are brightly lit as 'kado ula ari ba'and 'light comes from sun' as 'dopi kup lo nro'. What code-words are written for 'sun' and 'brightly' ?


A) ba,sun

B) sul,lo

C) lo,ba

D) ba,lo

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

 In the first and third statements, the common word is 'sun' and the common code word is 'lo'. So, 'lo' is the code for 'sun'. In the first and second statements, the common word is 'brightly' and the common code word is 'ba'. So, 'ba' is the code for brightly'.
