Identify common words between sentences to isolate codes. Since 'Drink' is common in both first and second sentences, find the common code. Repeat for other words to isolate 'We'.
Analyze the sentences for common words
Compare 'I Drink Juice' (Hu, Pu, Nu) and 'We Drink Water' (Tu, Su, Hu). The common word is 'Drink', and the common code is 'Hu'.
Isolate remaining terms
From 'We Drink Water' (Tu, Su, Hu) and 'Juice and Water' (Pu, Du, Tu), the common word is 'Water', and the common code is 'Tu'.
Determine the code for 'We'
In 'We Drink Water' (Tu, Su, Hu), we know 'Drink' = 'Hu' and 'Water' = 'Tu'. Therefore, the remaining word 'We' must be 'Su'.
A: 'Hu' is 'Drink'. B: 'Tu' is 'Water'. C: 'Pu' is 'Juice'. D (Su) is the correct code for 'We'.
D is correct because by identifying the common codes for 'Drink' (Hu) and 'Water' (Tu) across the given sentences, we successfully isolate 'Su' as the code for 'We'.
In coding-decoding questions, always look for the most frequent word first to eliminate codes efficiently. Don't assume code order matches word order.
