In a certain code language, ‘Phones are burning’ is coded as ‘7 8 3’, and ‘That coach was burning’ is coded as ‘6 3 2 4’. What can be the code for ‘are’ in that language?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8
‘Phones are burning’ is coded as ‘7 8 3’, and ‘That coach was burning’ is coded as ‘6 3 2 4’.
In both the sentences, 'burning' is common and the code '3' is common. So, the code for 'burning' is '3'.
So, the code for 'are' may be '7' or '8'. But, '7' is not there in the given options.
So, the code for 'are' is '8'.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
