(ii)'sik hee' means 'red flowers';
(iii)'pee mit hee' means 'flowers are vegetables'
How is 'vegetables are red flowers' written in that code ?

• A. pee sik mit hee
• B. sik pee hee be
• C. il sik mit hee
• D. cannot be determined

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

pee sik mit hee

From second and third statement, we find that 'hee' means 'flowers'. Thus, in the second statement 'sik' means 'red'.
Again, from first and third statement, the common word is 'are' and the common code word is 'pee'.
Therefore, in the third statement, 'mit' means 'vegetables'.
So, 'vegetables are red flowers' is written as 'mit pee sik hee' or 'pee sik mit hee'.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
