Question

In a certain code language, "who are you" is written as "4 3 2", "they is you" is written as "4 8 5" and "they are dangerous" is written as "2 9 5". How is "dangerous" written in that code language?

SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

9

Find each code by spotting common words across pairs of sentences.

"you" is common to sentences 1 and 2, and code 4 is the shared number — so you = 4.

"are" is common to sentences 1 and 3, sharing code 2 — so are = 2.

"they" is common to sentences 2 and 3, sharing code 5 — so they = 5.

In "they are dangerous" = "2 9 5", the remaining word "dangerous" maps to the remaining code 9.
