Question

In a certain code language,
‘election news portal launching’ is coded as ‘m7 o2 f6 q4’ and
‘winter time chilled icecream’ is coded as ‘d5 j6 u2 x4’.

What is the probable code for ‘woolen sweater’?

The correct answer is

x4 t5

In this code each word becomes a letter followed by a number. The letter is the next letter after the word's first letter, and the number is the word's length minus 2. The order of codes is jumbled, so each word is matched by checking the rule.

Step 1 — election: e + 1 = f, 8 letters − 2 = 6 → f6. news: n + 1 = o, 4 − 2 = 2 → o2. portal: p + 1 = q, 6 − 2 = 4 → q4. launching: l + 1 = m, 9 − 2 = 7 → m7. These are exactly the codes m7, o2, f6, q4.

Step 2 — Second sentence check: winter → x4, time → u2, chilled → d5, icecream → j6, exactly the codes d5, j6, u2, x4.

Step 3 — woolen: w + 1 = x, 6 letters − 2 = 4 → x4. sweater: s + 1 = t, 7 letters − 2 = 5 → t5.

The pairs v7 x5, t6 r5 and r5 v4 do not start with x and t, and their numbers do not equal the word lengths minus 2, so they break the rule found in both given sentences.

x4 t5 option is correct.
