This question requires us to decipher a code language where words are represented by specific code words. We are given three sentences and their corresponding coded forms. By comparing these sentences and their codes, we can identify the code word for individual words.
Let's list the given information:
Our goal is to find the code word for 'MAYANK'.
We will compare the sentences pairwise to find common words and their corresponding common code words.
The common word in both sentences is 'IS'.
The common code word in 're ge ne' and 'te re pe me' is 're'.
Therefore, the code for 'IS' is 're'.
The common word in both sentences is 'GREAT'.
The common code word in 're ge ne' and 'pe ge se' is 'ge'.
Therefore, the code for 'GREAT' is 'ge'.
The common word in both sentences is 'INDIAN'.
The common code word in 'te re pe me' and 'pe ge se' is 'pe'.
Therefore, the code for 'INDIAN' is 'pe'.
Now we use the deductions made to find the code for 'MAYANK'. Let's look at Sentence 1 again:
We have found that:
In the code 're ge ne', 're' stands for 'IS' and 'ge' stands for 'GREAT'. The only word remaining in the sentence is 'MAYANK', and the only code remaining is 'ne'.
Thus, the code for 'MAYANK' is 'ne'.
We can summarize the codes we have found:
| Word | Code |
|---|---|
| IS | re |
| GREAT | ge |
| INDIAN | pe |
| MAYANK | ne |
From Sentence 2, 'HE IS AN INDIAN' = 'te re pe me'. We know 'IS' is 're' and 'INDIAN' is 'pe'. This leaves 'HE AN' = 'te me'. We cannot determine the code for 'HE' or 'AN' individually from the given information.
From Sentence 3, 'GREAT INDIAN CULTURE' = 'pe ge se'. We know 'GREAT' is 'ge' and 'INDIAN' is 'pe'. This leaves 'CULTURE' = 'se'.
Based on our analysis, the code for 'MAYANK' is 'ne'.
Coding-decoding questions test your ability to identify patterns and rules in coded messages. The common type seen here is 'word coding' or 'sentence coding', where words are assigned specific code words.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Word Coding | Words are given unique code words. |
| Sentence Coding | Groups of words (sentences) are given groups of code words. Comparison helps find individual word codes. |
| Comparison Method | Finding common words in sentences and common codes in coded messages to deduce individual codes. |
Besides the sentence-based coding seen in this problem, other common types of coding-decoding questions include:
Practicing different types helps in quickly identifying the pattern during exams.
In a certain code language, 'India is my country' means ‘8573’, 'Sam is my friend' means ‘8634’, 'My country' means ‘73’ and 'Team India' means ‘59’. What number is the code for 'Country'?
In a certain code language, 'Where are you' is written as 'me ki na', 'When you come' is written as 'bel na se', and 'Come back home' is written as 'se ne jo'. How will 'When' be written in that language?
In a certain code language, 'he came back' is written as 'ni ji pa', 'go back now' is written as 'pa ja ka' and 'stop it now' is written as 'ka my uk' . How will 'go' be written in the same code language?
In a certain code language, ‘I am fine’ is written as ‘le su kim’, ‘you are fine’ is written as ‘se kim de’ and ‘all are fine’ is written as ‘kim ru se’. How will ‘all’ be written in that language ?
In a certain code language, ‘PAPER IS WHITE’ is written as ‘JH NX TRO’, ‘BOTTLES ARE WHITE’ is written as ‘HN NX TP’, and ‘BOTTLES IS BROKEN’ is written as ‘HN TRO SNG’. How will ‘PAPER’ be written in that language?
