Decoding the 'learn life lessons' Code

The problem presents a simple code language puzzle where phrases are mapped to sequences of letters. We need to find the specific code for the word 'learn'.

Comparing Coded Phrases

Let's analyze the given phrases and their codes:

  • 'learn life lessons' = 'lo ma ku'
  • 'lessons are good' = 'pi rh ma'
  • 'lead good life' = 'lo ja pi'

Identifying Common Words and Codes

We compare the phrases to find common words and deduce their corresponding codes:

  1. Compare Phrase 1 and Phrase 2:
    • 'lessons' is common.
    • 'ma' is common in their codes ('lo ma ku', 'pi rh ma').
    • Therefore, 'lessons' = 'ma'.
  2. Compare Phrase 1 and Phrase 3:
    • 'life' is common.
    • 'lo' is common in their codes ('lo ma ku', 'lo ja pi').
    • Therefore, 'life' = 'lo'.
  3. Compare Phrase 2 and Phrase 3:
    • 'good' is common.
    • 'pi' is common in their codes ('pi rh ma', 'lo ja pi').
    • Therefore, 'good' = 'pi'.

Determining the Code for 'learn'

Now, let's focus on the first phrase:

  • 'learn life lessons' = 'lo ma ku'
  • We already know: 'life' = 'lo' and 'lessons' = 'ma'.
  • Substituting these known codes: 'learn' + 'lo' + 'ma' = 'lo ma ku'.
  • By elimination, the code for 'learn' must be the remaining code word.
  • Therefore, 'learn' = 'ku'.

This matches Option A.
