Question

In a certain language, 'put tir fin' means 'delicious juicy fruit'; 'tie dip sig' means 'beautiful white lily', and 'sig lon fin' means 'lily and fruit'. What is the code for 'and'?

Answer 1

Methods of coding:
$\bullet$ (a) Skipping over the letter in the forward or backward direction.
$\bullet$ (b) Writing the letters of given word in reverse order in part or in whole.
$\bullet$ (c) Sometimes codes may be the position of those letters in alphabet.

Common word from first and third statement is 'fin' and common code from first and third statement is 'fruit'.

So, code for 'fin' is 'fruit'.

From second and third statement, 'sig' is 'lily'.

So 'lon' means 'and' from the third statement.

Hence, the code for 'and' is 'lon'.
