The correct answer is
fz

To decode the message, we need to match the given words with their corresponding codes based on the patterns provided.

  1. Let's analyze the given coded phrases:
    • 'bus car bike' is coded as 'az bz ez'
    • 'bicycle tyre car' is coded as 'bz fz pz'
    • 'scooter bus tyre' is coded as 'az pz sz'
  2. Start by finding the common elements:
    • The word 'bus' appears in the first and third phrases, corresponding codes being 'az bz ez' and 'az pz sz'. The common code is 'az'. Therefore, 'bus' = 'az'.
    • The word 'car' appears in the first and second phrases, corresponding codes being 'az bz ez' and 'bz fz pz'. The common code is 'bz'. Therefore, 'car' = 'bz'.
    • The word 'tyre' appears in the second and third phrases, corresponding codes being 'bz fz pz' and 'az pz sz'. The common code is 'pz'. Therefore, 'tyre' = 'pz'.
  3. Now, identify the code for 'bicycle':
    • In the second phrase 'bicycle tyre car', the codes are 'bz fz pz'. We know 'car = bz' and 'tyre = pz'. Therefore, 'fz' must correspond to 'bicycle'.
  4. Hence, the code for the word 'bicycle' is 'fz'.

Therefore, the correct answer is fz.
