Question

In a certain code, '235' means 'books are old'; '546' means 'man is old' and '378' means 'buy good books' What stands for 'are' in that code?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2

In the first and second statement, the common code digit is '5' and the common word is 'old'. So, '5' means 'old'. In the first and third statements, the common code digit is '3' and the common word is 'books'. So, '3' means 'books'.
Thus, in the first statement '2' means 'are'.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
