Quick Trick: Identify words common to multiple sentences and their corresponding common codes to isolate the required word.
Identify words common to multiple sentences and their corresponding common codes to isolate the required word.
Analyze given statements
Compare statements 1 and 2
The common word is 'High' and the common code is 'Lo'. Therefore, High = Lo.
Verify against statement 3
Statement 3 'Clouds Blue Storm = PaMaDa' confirms that since 'Blue' is common to 1 and 3 (code Pa), 'Clouds' is common to 2 and 3 (code Da), and 'High' is exclusive to 1 and 2, the logic holds.
A: Ka represents Blue or Sky based on further comparison, C: Pa represents Blue, D: Da represents Clouds.
B is correct because 'High' is the only common word present in the first two statements (Blue Sky High and High Clouds Rain), and 'Lo' is the only common code between those two statements.
In coding-decoding puzzles, always look for the word that appears in the most sentences first to establish an anchor code.
