In a certain code language, ‘Today is last match’ is written as ‘Sa Te Mo Pt’, ‘Last king like your team’ is written as ‘De Ra Mo Lo Zs’, ‘Our team won today match’ is written as ‘Te Ra Pt Ae We’. What is the code for ‘Our won is Last’ in that code language?

The correct answer is

Sa Ae We Mo

Understanding the Coding Pattern

This problem involves a specific type of word coding where phrases are represented by a sequence of codes. We need to find the corresponding code for the phrase 'Our won is Last' by analyzing the given examples.

The provided translations are:

  • 'Today is last match' is written as 'Sa Te Mo Pt'
  • 'Last king like your team' is written as 'De Ra Mo Lo Zs'
  • 'Our team won today match' is written as 'Te Ra Pt Ae We'

To solve this, we will systematically decode each word by comparing the sentences and identifying common words and their corresponding codes.

Decoding Word Codes Step-by-Step

Identifying the Code for 'Last'

We begin by comparing the first two sentences to find common elements:

  • 'Today is last match' corresponds to 'Sa Te Mo Pt'
  • 'Last king like your team' corresponds to 'De Ra Mo Lo Zs'

The word 'last' appears in both sentences. The codes for the first sentence are {Sa, Te, Mo, Pt}, and for the second sentence are {De, Ra, Mo, Lo, Zs}. The only code common to both sets is 'Mo'.

Therefore, we deduce that the code for 'last' is 'Mo'.

Identifying the Code for 'team'

Next, we compare the second and third sentences:

  • 'Last king like your team' corresponds to 'De Ra Mo Lo Zs'
  • 'Our team won today match' corresponds to 'Te Ra Pt Ae We'

The word 'team' is common to both sentences. The codes are {De, Ra, Mo, Lo, Zs} for the second sentence and {Te, Ra, Pt, Ae, We} for the third. The common code is 'Ra'.

Thus, the code for 'team' is 'Ra'.

Identifying Codes for 'Today' and 'match'

Now, let's analyze the first and third sentences, which share the words 'today' and 'match':

  • 'Today is last match' corresponds to 'Sa Te Mo Pt'
  • 'Our team won today match' corresponds to 'Te Ra Pt Ae We'

From the first sentence, knowing 'last' is 'Mo', the remaining words {'Today', 'is', 'match'} must correspond to the remaining codes {'Sa', 'Te', 'Pt'}.

From the third sentence, knowing 'team' is 'Ra', the remaining words {'Our', 'won', 'today', 'match'} must correspond to the remaining codes {'Te', 'Pt', 'Ae', 'We'}.

By comparing these, the words 'today' and 'match' are common in both remaining sets of words. Similarly, the codes 'Te' and 'Pt' are common in both remaining sets of codes. This indicates that {'Today', 'match'} are represented by {'Te', 'Pt'}, although the specific order is not yet determined.

Identifying the Code for 'is'

Let's reconsider the first sentence's breakdown: {'Today', 'is', 'match'} correspond to {'Sa', 'Te', 'Pt'}.

Since we've established that 'Today' and 'match' are coded as 'Te' and 'Pt', the word 'is' must be represented by the remaining code, which is 'Sa'.

Therefore, the code for 'is' is 'Sa'.

Identifying Codes for 'Our' and 'won'

We now look at the third sentence again: 'Our team won today match' corresponds to 'Te Ra Pt Ae We'.

We have already identified:

  • 'team' → 'Ra'
  • {'Today', 'match'} → {'Te', 'Pt'}

The words left in the sentence are 'Our' and 'won'. The codes left are 'Ae' and 'We'.

This implies that {'Our', 'won'} are coded as {'Ae', 'We'} in some order.

Consolidating the Mappings

After analyzing all the sentences, we have derived the following word-to-code mappings:

Key Word Codes Summary
Word Code
Last Mo
team Ra
is Sa
Today Te or Pt
match Pt or Te
Our Ae or We
won We or Ae

Determining the Code for 'Our won is Last'

The target phrase is 'Our won is Last'. We need the codes for these specific words:

  • 'Our' is coded as either 'Ae' or 'We'.
  • 'won' is coded as the remaining code from the pair {'Ae', 'We'}.
  • 'is' is coded as 'Sa'.
  • 'Last' is coded as 'Mo'.

Therefore, the complete set of codes required for 'Our won is Last' must include 'Sa', 'Mo', and the two codes 'Ae' and 'We' which represent 'Our' and 'won'. The specific order of 'Ae' and 'We' doesn't affect the final set of codes.

The required codes are {Sa, Mo, Ae, We}.

Evaluating the Options

Let's check which option contains exactly these codes:

  • Option 1: 'We Mo Ra Sa' - This option includes 'Ra', which is the code for 'team', a word not present in 'Our won is Last'. So, this is incorrect.
  • Option 2: 'Ae Mo We Pt' - This option includes 'Pt', which is the code for 'Today' or 'match', words not present in 'Our won is Last'. So, this is incorrect.
  • Option 3: 'Mo Ae We Te' - This option includes 'Te', which is the code for 'Today' or 'match', words not present in 'Our won is Last'. So, this is incorrect.
  • Option 4: 'Sa Ae We Mo' - This option contains 'Sa' (for 'is'), 'Ae' (for 'Our' or 'won'), 'We' (for 'won' or 'Our'), and 'Mo' (for 'Last'). This set of codes {Sa, Ae, We, Mo} perfectly matches our derived requirements.

Thus, the correct code for 'Our won is Last' is 'Sa Ae We Mo'.
