pqr, yz, stu

Code Language Logic Explained

The problem involves deciphering a simple substitution code where each word corresponds to a specific three-letter code.

Decoding the Word Codes

We can determine the code for each word by comparing the given sentences and their codes:

  • From 'dog cat bird' = 'pqr, stu, vwx' and 'bird fish dog' = 'vwx, yz, pqr', we see 'dog' corresponds to 'pqr' and 'bird' corresponds to 'vwx'.
  • From 'dog cat bird' = 'pqr, stu, vwx' and 'fish cat lion' = 'yz, stu, abc', we see 'cat' corresponds to 'stu'.
  • From 'bird fish dog' = 'vwx, yz, pqr' and 'fish cat lion' = 'yz, stu, abc', we see 'fish' corresponds to 'yz'.

Word-to-Code Mapping

Word Code
dog pqr
bird vwx
cat stu
fish yz
lion abc

Coding 'dog fish cat'

Using the established mapping:

  • 'dog' = 'pqr'
  • 'fish' = 'yz'
  • 'cat' = 'stu'

Therefore, the code for 'dog fish cat' is 'pqr, yz, stu'.
