In a certain code, 'it is raining' is coded as 'dy po ko', 'is raining now' is coded as 'po jo ko' and 'is now it' is coded as 'po jo dy'. (All the codes are two-letter codes only.) What is the code for 'raining'?
ko
- Compare 1st and 3rd phrases:
- Both contain "it" and "is"
- Common code: 'dy' (it) and 'po' (is)
- Analyze 2nd phrase:
- "is" = 'po' (from above)
- "now" must be 'jo' (only new code)
- Thus "raining" must be 'ko'
- Verification:
- 1st phrase: dy(it) + po(is) + ko(raining) = correct
- 2nd phrase: po(is) + jo(now) + ko(raining) = correct
- 3rd phrase: po(is) + jo(now) + dy(it) = correct
Correct Answer:
The code for 'raining' is: ko
