Question

In a certain type of code, 'they play cricket together' is written as ‘mv kb lb iv'; 'they score maximum points' is written as 'gb lb mb kv'; 'cricket score earned points' is written as 'mb gv kb kv' and 'points are earned together' is written as 'kv mv ob gv.'
What is the code for ‘earned maximum points’ ?

• A. gv gb kv
• B. mv kb mb
• C. lb iv ob
• D. ob mb iv

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem of decoding the message, we need to first decrypt the meanings of each code word from the given sentences. Let's break it down step by step:

• From the sentence 'they play cricket together' written as ‘mv kb lb iv’, we assign codes to words:
  • 'they' = lb
  • 'play' = iv
  • 'cricket' = kb
  • 'together' = mv
• From the sentence 'they score maximum points' written as 'gb lb mb kv', we further intersect known codes:
  • 'they' = lb (confirmed)
  • 'score' = kv
  • 'maximum' = gb
  • 'points' = mb
• From the sentence 'cricket score earned points' written as 'mb gv kb kv', we update our codes:
  • 'cricket' = kb (confirmed)
  • 'score' = kv (confirmed)
  • 'earned' = gv
  • 'points' = mb (confirmed)
• From the sentence 'points are earned together' written as 'kv mv ob gv', the codes are:
  • 'points' = kv (incorrect, correction: confirmed as mb)
  • 'are' = ob
  • 'earned' = gv (confirmed)
  • 'together' = mv (confirmed)

Now that we have decoded most of the words, let's assemble the phrase 'earned maximum points':

• 'earned' = gv
• 'maximum' = gb
• 'points' = mb

The code for 'earned maximum points' is therefore: gv gb kv

earned	gv
maximum	gb
points	mb
