In a certain code language, ‘Floors white marble’ is written as ‘tp aj pr’, ‘Tyre are hard white’ is written as ‘pr qs tr ak’ and ‘Marble are shiny’ is written as ‘tp tr 6’. What is the code for ‘Shiny floors’ in that code language?
aj 6
This problem requires us to decode a specific code language by analyzing given sentences and their corresponding coded forms. We need to find the code for the phrase 'Shiny floors' using the relationships provided.
We are given three statements:
To find the code for individual words, we look for words that appear in more than one statement and identify their common code.
Now that we know the codes for some words, we can find the codes for the remaining words in each statement.
We have successfully decoded the words 'shiny' and 'floors'.
We need to find the code for the phrase 'Shiny floors'. Based on our decoding:
Therefore, the code for 'Shiny floors' will be a combination of their individual codes, which is '6 aj' or 'aj 6'. The order of the codes for multiple words in the final phrase can vary unless specified.
Let's examine the given options to find the correct code for 'Shiny floors':
The code 'aj 6' corresponds to 'Floors shiny', which is the correct code for 'Shiny floors' in this language.
| Word | Code |
|---|---|
| white | pr |
| marble | tp |
| are | tr |
| Floors | aj |
| shiny | 6 |
| Statement | Words | Code | Deductions |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Floors white marble | tp aj pr | white = pr, marble = tp, Floors = aj |
| 2 | Tyre are hard white | pr qs tr ak | white = pr, are = tr |
| 3 | Marble are shiny | tp tr 6 | marble = tp, are = tr, shiny = 6 |
Code language problems like this are common in logic and reasoning sections of competitive exams. They test your ability to identify patterns, compare information across different sets, and deduce relationships. The key is to systematically find words that appear in multiple statements to break down the code one word at a time. Once common elements are identified, you can find the codes for unique words in each statement.
Similar types of problems might involve numbers, symbols, or rearranged letters instead of entirely new codes. The approach of finding common elements usually remains effective.
