Question

In a certain code language, 'po ki top ma' means 'Usha is playing cards'; Kop ja ki ma' means 'Asha is playing tennis'; 'ki top sop ho' means 'they are playing football'; and 'po sur kop' means cards and tennis'. Which word in this language means 'Asha'?

• A. ja
• B. ma
• C. kop
• D. top

Answer 1

The correct option is A ja

Given :

'po ki top ma' means Usha is playing cards'.

'kop ja ki ma' means 'Asha is playing tennis'.

'ki top sop ho' means 'they are playing football'

'po sur kop' means 'cards and tennis'

In first the three sentences the code 'ki' is common and word 'playing' is common. So, 'ki' means 'playing'.

In first two sentences the code 'ki ma' and word 'is playing' is common. So, 'ma' means 'is'.

In first and fourth statement the code 'po' and the word 'cards' is common. So, 'po' means 'cards'.

In second and fourth the code 'kop' and the word 'tennis' is common. So, 'kop' means 'tennis'.

From statement 2, 'ja' means 'Ahsa'.

Hence, option A is correct.
