In a certain code language, ‘how are you’ is written as ‘so me lo’, ‘you are intelligent’ is written as ‘the lo me’, and ‘are they lazy’ is written as ‘me ca ya’. How will ‘how are they’ be written in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. so me ca.
The logic used here is:
‘how are you’ is written as ‘so me lo’, ‘you are intelligent’ is written as ‘the lo me’, and ‘are they lazy’ is written as ‘me ca ya’
Code for the word are = me
Code for the word you = lo
Code for the word how = so
Code for the word intelligent = the
Code for the word they = ca / ya
Code for the word lazy = ca / ya
Similarly,
Code for the phrase how are they: so me ca
Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
