If in a certain code, '345' means 'you are good', '358' means 'good is nice' and '783' means 'nice and good', then which digit stands for 'is'?
A. 8
B. 7
C. 5
D. 3
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
From first two, good =3 or 5. From second and third, good =3 or 8. Common good =3. Then from second, remaining for 'is' and 'nice' are 5 and 8. From third, nice and and are 7 and 8 (since good=3). Common for nice is 8. Thus from second, 'is' =5. Wait, then answer B. From above: second 358 = good is nice, good=3, so is and nice =5,8. Third 783 = nice and good, good=3, so nice and =7,8. Thus nice =8, then is =5, and =7. Yes, 'is' =5.
