In a certain code language, 'what where how' is written as 'aa dd ff'; 'where there that' is written as 'dd zz pp' and 'which what here' is written as 'ff kk II'. How is 'how' written in that language?
a). kk
b). aa
c). ff
d). zz
Solution:The code for "how" can be determined by the process of elimination.
"what where how" = "aa dd ff"
"where there that" = "dd zz pp"
"which what here" = "ff kk II"
Comparing the first two phrases, "where" and "dd" are the common elements. Therefore, "where" = "dd".
Comparing the first and third phrases, "what" and "ff" are the common elements. Thus, "what" = "ff".
Given that "what" = "ff", "where" = "dd", and the first phrase "what where how" is coded as "aa dd ff", it follows that "how" must be coded as "aa".
The correct answer is b) aa.
