In a certain code language,
'good and tasty' is coded as '134',
'see good pictures' is coded as '478',
'pictures are faint' is coded as '729'.
Determine which numerical digit corresponds to the word 'see' in this language.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given code statements:
• 'good and tasty' = '134'
• 'see good pictures' = '478'
• 'pictures are faint' = '729'
Comparing the statements:
• Common word between the 1st and 2nd statements is 'good' and common digit is '4' ⇒ good = 4
• Common word between the 2nd and 3rd statements is 'pictures' and common digit is '7' ⇒ pictures = 7
In the 2nd statement ('see good pictures' = '478'), the remaining word 'see' corresponds to the remaining digit 8.
Therefore, the correct answer is 8.
