Question

Accepted Answer

We are given two coded phrases:

1. 'talk to me' → 'aq yt bl'
2. 'do not talk' → 'yt me wc'

We need to find the code for 'talk'.

Step 1: Identify common words and codes.
- The word 'talk' appears in both phrases.
- The codes common to both phrases are 'yt'.

Step 2: Check the codes in both phrases:
- Phrase 1 words: talk, to, me
- Phrase 1 codes: aq, yt, bl
- Phrase 2 words: do, not, talk
- Phrase 2 codes: yt, me, wc

Step 3: The only code common in both coded phrases is 'yt'.
Since 'talk' is the only word common in both phrases, 'yt' must be the code for 'talk'.

Therefore, the code for 'talk' is 'yt'.
