Question

In a certain code, `847' means `spread yellow carpet'; `863' means `dust one carpet' and `834' means `one yellow carpet'. Which digit in that code means `dust'?

• A. 8
• B. 3
• C. 6
• D. 5
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

6

In the first and second statements, the common code digit is `8' and the common word is `carpet'. `8' means `carpet'. In the second and third statements, the common code digit is `3' and the common word is `one'. So, `3' means `one'. Therefore, in the second statement, `6' means `dust'.
