Question

In a certain code language, 'avoid going out' is coded as '319'. Similarly 'going for party' is coded as '612' and 'out for party' is coded as '362'. What will be the code for 'party' in the given code language?

• A. 3
• B. 1
• C. 9
• D. Either 2 or 6
• E. Either 3 or 1

Answer 1

The correct option is D Either 2 or 6

Avoid going out$\iff 319$
Going for party $\iff 612$
Out for party $\iff 362$
From EQs. (i) and (ii)
Going $\Rightarrow 1$
from Eqs (ii) and (iii)
for party $\Rightarrow 62$
So, party will be coded as either 2 or 6
