In a code language 'sweet fruits' is coded as 're de', 'mango is sweet' is coded as 'de me ke', 'orange is citrus' is coded as 'ke le pe', 'eat orange' is coded as 'pe ne'. What will be the code for the word 'citrus'?

The correct answer is
le

To solve this code language question, we need to decode the given words by comparing the coded language patterns. Let's break down the information provided step-by-step:

  1. The phrase 'sweet fruits' is coded as 're de'.
  2. The phrase 'mango is sweet' is coded as 'de me ke'. From here, we know that the word 'sweet' must be coded as 'de' since it is common in both this and the previous coding.
  3. The phrase 'orange is citrus' is coded as 'ke le pe'. The word 'is' is common to this and the previous phrase, which means it is coded as 'ke'. Thus, the remaining words 'orange' and 'citrus' correspond to 'le' and 'pe', but we need to identify which.
  4. The phrase 'eat orange' is coded as 'pe ne'. Since the word 'orange' is common here, it means it is coded as 'pe' (from comparison with the coding 'ke le pe').

Thus, by elimination, the word 'citrus' must be coded as 'le', because it is the only leftover code from the phrase 'orange is citrus'.

Therefore, the code for the word 'citrus' is le.
