Question

In a certain code language, ‘pit dar na' means ‘you are good', ‘dar took pa' means ‘good and bad' and ‘tim na took' means ‘they are bad'. In that code language, how will the word ‘they' be written?

• A. na
• B. took
• C. tim
• D. pit

Hint:

In coding-decoding:

• First identify common words.
• Match them with common codes.
• Eliminate known words step-by-step.

This systematic elimination method gives the correct answer quickly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Coding-decoding questions are solved by comparing common words and identifying corresponding code words logically.

Step 1: Compare the first and second statements. \[ \text{pit dar na} = \text{you are good} \] \[ \text{dar took pa} = \text{good and bad} \] The common word is: \[ \text{good} \] The common code is: \[ \text{dar} \] Thus, \[ \text{dar} = \text{good} \]

Step 2: Compare the second and third statements. \[ \text{dar took pa} = \text{good and bad} \] \[ \text{tim na took} = \text{they are bad} \] The common word is: \[ \text{bad} \] The common code is: \[ \text{took} \] Thus, \[ \text{took} = \text{bad} \]

Step 3: Identify the code for ‘are'. From: \[ \text{pit dar na} = \text{you are good} \] We already know: \[ \text{dar} = \text{good} \] From the third statement: \[ \text{tim na took} = \text{they are bad} \] and \[ \text{took} = \text{bad} \] The common remaining code is: \[ \text{na} = \text{are} \]

Step 4: Find the code for ‘they'. From: \[ \text{tim na took} = \text{they are bad} \] We know: \[ \text{na} = \text{are} \] \[ \text{took} = \text{bad} \] Therefore, the remaining code: \[ \text{tim} = \text{they} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{tim}} \]
