In a certain code language, ‘Ashok is big’ is written as ‘pr 6 8’, ‘Huge people are strong’ is written as ‘lm pt 7 @’, and ‘Is big are’ is written as ‘pr pt 8’. What can be the possible code for ‘Ashok people’ in that code language?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 6 lm

‘Ashok is big’ is written as ‘pr 6 8’, ‘Huge people are strong’ is written as ‘lm pt 7 @’, and ‘Is big are’ is written as ‘pr pt 8’

In 1st and 3rd sentences, the word 'Is big" is common, and code 'pr 8' is common. So, the code for 'Is big' is 'pr 8'. So, the code for 'Ashok' will be' 6'.

In the 2nd and 3rd sentences, the word 'are' is common, and the code 'pt' is common. So, the code for 'are' is 'pt'. 

Now, the code for 'Ashok people' can be one of them: 

1) 6 lm

2) 6 7

3) 6 @

6 7, and 6 @ are not given in the options. 

Hence, the correct answer is 6 lm.
