Identify the common word in the given sentences and find the code common to the corresponding coded phrases.
Analyze the given sets
We are given: 1) 'buy some food' = 'lr tp nx' and 2) 'food is tasty' = 'nx ze jq'.
Identify common elements
Compare the two sentences. The word 'food' is common to both. Looking at the codes 'lr tp nx' and 'nx ze jq', the code 'nx' is common to both.
Conclude the mapping
Since 'food' is the only common word and 'nx' is the only common code, 'food' must be coded as 'nx'.
A: 'jq' is associated with 'is' or 'tasty', not 'food'. C: 'tp' is associated with 'buy' or 'some', not 'food'. D: 'lr' is associated with 'buy' or 'some', not 'food'.
B is correct because 'food' is the only common word appearing in both coded sentences, and 'nx' is the only code present in both corresponding code groups.
In coding-decoding questions, always scan for common words in the sentences first to isolate the specific code before looking at individual word mappings.
