In a certain code language, ‘hat tie watch’ is coded as ‘zm ph mt’, ‘belt bow tie’ is coded as ‘la oe zm’, 'bow watch clip’ is coded as ‘oe mt dy’. What is the code for 'hat' in that language? (Note: All the codes are two-letter coded only.)
oe
mt
ph
zm
ph
Identify common words between sentences and their corresponding codes to isolate unique codes.
Identify common words between sentences and their corresponding codes to isolate unique codes.
Analyze Commonality
Compare 'hat tie watch' (zm ph mt) and 'belt bow tie' (la oe zm). 'tie' is the common word, and 'zm' is the common code. Thus, tie = zm.
Isolate Remaining
Compare 'hat tie watch' (zm ph mt) and 'bow watch clip' (oe mt dy). 'watch' is common to both, and 'mt' is the common code. Thus, watch = mt.
Final Deduction
In sentence 1 (hat tie watch = zm ph mt), since tie=zm and watch=mt, the only remaining word 'hat' must map to the only remaining code 'ph'.
A: 'oe' is the code for 'bow' (present in sentences 2 and 3). B: 'mt' is the code for 'watch' (present in sentences 1 and 3). D: 'zm' is the code for 'tie' (present in sentences 1 and 2).
C is correct because by isolating the common codes for 'tie' and 'watch' across the given statements, 'ph' is the only code remaining for the word 'hat'.
In coding questions with multiple sentences, always look for the word that appears exactly twice to find the mapping through elimination first, then deduce single-instance words.
