Question

In a certain code language, ‘cakes are delicious’ is written as ‘su do ku’ and ‘I like cakes’ is coded as ‘mu su ru’. How is ‘cakes’ coded in the given language?

• A. mu
• B. su
• C. ku
• D. ru

Answer 1

Answer:

B. su

The code for ‘cakes’ is su.

To find the code, compare the two sentences and look for the common word and its matching code:

• Sentence 1: ‘cakes are delicious’ $\rightarrow$ ‘su do ku’

• Sentence 2: ‘I like cakes’ $\rightarrow$ ‘mu su ru’

The only word common to both sentences is ‘cakes’, and the only code common to both lists is ‘su’. Therefore, ‘cakes’ is coded as ‘su’.
