Q1. In a certain code language, 'we are making efforts' is written as 'ee ca ce ac', 'making efforts for best' is written as 'ce bb aa ee', 'result are strict for' is written as 'ea ca bb ae', and 'we are the best' is written as 'ca aa cc ac'. Code 'cc' stands for which word in the given language?

1. we
2. are
3. the
4. best

Answer: the

By comparing sentences with overlapping words, we can map codes to words. The code 'cc' appears in the sentence 'we are the best' and corresponds to the only new word there, 'the'.

Q2. In a certain code language, 'di ma ti bi' means 'sky is blue colour', 'ti ja ma pa' means 'moon colour is white', 'ma ca fo ti' means 'sun is red colour', and 'ma di ko' means 'ocean is blue'. Code 'bi ma ko di' is for which of the following sentences in the given language?

1. sky is ocean colour
2. moon is red ocean
3. sky is ocean blue
4. sun is blue ocean

Answer: sky is ocean blue

The common code in the first and second statements is 'ma', so 'ma' = 'is'. The common code in the first and third statements is 'ti', so 'ti' = 'colour'; then 'di' and 'bi' correspond to 'sky' and 'blue' in some order. From 'ma di ko' = 'ocean is blue', 'di' = 'blue' and 'ko' = 'ocean'. Thus 'bi ma ko di' means 'sky is ocean blue'.

Q3. What is the code for 'story'?
