What is the code for ideas?

Directions: Study the following information to answer the given question.

In a certain code language,
"Also calls node ideas" is written as "ca ri sha gi", 
"Ideas all node thoughts" is written as "fa gi na ri", 
"Calls thoughts all insights" is written as "na ka ca fa" and 
"Node all better solutions" is written as "ki ri to fa".

  1. sha

  2. na

  3. gi

  4. ka

  5. ko


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the statements given in the passage be labelled as S1, S2, S3 and S4 in the order as they appear in the passage. Now, the common word in S1, S2 and S4 is 'node', with the comon code word as 'ri'. Thus, 'ri' stands for 'node'. Now, apart from 'node', the other common word between S1 and S2 is 'ideas' with 'gi' being the other common code word. Thus, 'gi' stands for 'ideas'. Hence, option (3) is correct.

  5. T


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Only two people sit between the architect and W. The doctor is not an immediate neighbour of the architect. The teacher is an immediate neighbour of both the lawyer and the engineer ||| |---|---| | |ARCHITECT| |DOCTOR| | |W |LAWYER| |ENGINEER|W - TEACHER|   U is not an immediate neighbour of P. V is not an immediate neighbour of the teacher. R is the immediate neighbour of the painter. P is not a painter. P sits third to the right of the architect.   ||| |---|---| |U|R- ARCHITECT| |DOCTOR|U - PAINTER| |P|U - LAWYER| |ENGINEER|W- TEACHER|   The doctor and the chef are the immediate neighbours of each other. Neither P nor W is a doctor or a chef. The teacher sits second to the left of T. T is not an immediate neighbour of W.   ||| |---|---| |U - CHEF|R - ARCHITECT| |V - DOCTOR|T - PAINTER| |P|U - LAWYER| |ENGINEER|W - TEACHER|

Q is a chef, U may be an architect, but R is neither an engineer nor a lawyer. So, R is an architect. U is a lawyer because he cannot be an engineer, if he is so, then he is a neighbour of P. He should not be a neighbour of P. S remains and he is the engineer ||| |---|---| |Q - CHEF |R - ARCHITECT| |V - DOCTOR|T - PAINTER| |P - MANAGER|U - LAWYER| |S - ENGINEER|W - TEACHER|

What is the decoded version of fa gi na?

Directions: Study the following information to answer the given question.

In a certain code language,
Also calls node ideas is written as ca ri sha gi, 
Ideas all node thoughts is written as fa gi na ri, 
Calls thoughts all insights is written as na ka ca fa, 
Node all better solutions is written as ki ri to fa.

  1. Ideas new thoughts

  2. All idea thoughts

  3. Also call new

  4. New thoughts idea

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the statements as given in the passage be labelled as S1, S2, S3 and S4 and in the same order as given in the passage. Now, fa is common to S2, S3 and S4 with all being common as well. Thus, fa stands for all. Now, ri is commin to S1, S2 and S4 with node being the other word common to all 3. Thus, the word ri being common to S1 and S2 stands for the word node. The other code word and word being common to S1 and S2 are gi and ideas, respectively. Thus, gi stands for ideas. Now, the code word na is common to both S2 and S3 with the word thoughts being common as well. Thus, na stands for thoughts. Hence, fa gi na stands for all ideas thoughts. Therefore, option (2) is correct.
