In a certain code language, 'they were not playing' is written as 'su to al zi', 'they are singing tomorrow' is written as 'to ej di mo', 'are you playing' is written as 'su mo pa' and 'you were sleeping' is written as 'pa zi qu'. (All codes are two-letter codes only.) What is the code for 'not' in the given code language?

1. al
2. SU
3. to
4. di

Correct answer: al

Solution

The word 'they' appears in the first and second sentences, and the common code is 'to', so 'they' = 'to'. The word 'were' appears in the first and fourth sentences, and the common code is 'zi', so 'were' = 'zi'. In the first sentence, the remaining codes 'su' and 'al' correspond to 'not' and 'playing'; since 'playing' appears in the third sentence with code 'su', 'not' must be 'al'.
