Correct Answer: st or mo
Solution :
Given:
1. chips are good ⇒ lo pur tan
2. soul are mate ⇒ tan fu gil
3. chips contain metal ⇒ pur st mo
By comparing all the three coded sentences –
In sentences 1 and 3,
chips
and
pur
are common.
In sentences 1 and 2,
are
and
tan
are common.
The remaining words and codes in sentence 1 are good and lo . So, lo will work as a code for good .
Finally, chips ⇒ pur; are ⇒ tan; good ⇒ lo ; contain/metal ⇒ st/mo; soul/mate ⇒ fu/gil
Contain is coded as st or mo . Hence, the fourth option is correct.
