The correct answer is
abc, jkl, def

This problem requires identifying the code for each word based on the provided coded phrases.

Decoding Word Codes

We are given the following information:

  • 'apple banana orange' is coded as 'abc, def, ghi'
  • 'orange grapes apple' is coded as 'ghi, jkl, abc'
  • 'grapes banana mango' is coded as 'jkl, def, mno'

Mapping Words to Codes

By comparing the phrases and their codes, we can deduce the code for each word:

  • Comparing the first two lines, 'apple' appears in both. Its code is 'abc' in both instances. Thus, apple = abc.
  • Comparing the first two lines, 'orange' also appears in both. Its code is 'ghi' in both instances. Thus, orange = ghi.
  • Comparing the first and third lines, 'banana' appears in both. Its code is 'def' in both instances. Thus, banana = def.
  • Comparing the second and third lines, 'grapes' appears in both. Its code is 'jkl' in both instances. Thus, grapes = jkl.

Finding the Code for 'apple grapes banana'

Using the established mappings:

  • apple = abc
  • grapes = jkl
  • banana = def

Combining these codes in the order requested gives the code for 'apple grapes banana' as 'abc, jkl, def'.

Selected Option Verification

Option 3 matches our derived code: abc, jkl, def.
