Question

In a certain code:
(A) '$134$' means 'you are well';
(B) '$758$' means 'they go home';
(C) '$839$' means 'we are home'.
Which of the following represents 'they' in that code language?

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. Data inadequate

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Data inadequate

From $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ statements, the common word is 'home' and common numeral is '$8$'. So, '$8$' stands for the word 'home'.
Now, to find the code for 'they', we need the code for 'go' which cannot be determined from the given data. Thus data is inadequate to find the code for 'they'.
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
