Question

In a certain code language, the following are given:

- ‘detaileventyearthis’ is written as ‘bi gvocst’
- ‘eventrevised ofawaited’ is written as ‘tm oc da pu’
- ‘ofdetailresultsfirst’ is written as ‘nhmk tm gv’
- ‘awaitedgreatyearof’ is written as ‘da strx tm’

What does the code ‘mk’ represent in this language?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze the given coded words and their corresponding codes:
   - ‘detaileventyearthis’ → ‘bi gvocst’
   - ‘eventrevised ofawaited’ → ‘tm oc da pu’
   - ‘ofdetailresultsfirst’ → ‘nhmk tm gv’
   - ‘awaitedgreatyearof’ → ‘da strx tm’

2. Observe that the code ‘tm’ appears in multiple coded sentences and corresponds to the word ‘of’ in all occurrences.

3. The code ‘mk’ appears only in the third coded sentence ‘nhmk tm gv’ which corresponds to ‘ofdetailresultsfirst’.

4. Since ‘tm’ is already identified as ‘of’, the remaining codes ‘nh’, ‘mk’, and ‘gv’ must represent ‘detail’, ‘results’, and ‘first’ in some order.

5. The code ‘mk’ therefore stands for either ‘first’ or ‘results’.

**Answer:** Either ‘first’ or ‘results’
