Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: ja
Given phrases and their meanings:
'po ki top ma' = Usha is playing cards
'kop ja ki ma' = Asha is playing tennis
'ki top sop ho' = they are playing football
'po sur kop' = cards and tennis
Step-by-step reasoning:
The code 'ki' appears in the first three code phrases while the word 'playing' appears in the first three English phrases. Therefore 'ki' = playing.
The code 'ma' appears in the first and second code phrases, and the word 'is' appears in the first and second English phrases. Therefore 'ma' = is.
The code 'po' appears in the first and fourth code phrases, and 'cards' appears in the first and fourth English phrases. Therefore 'po' = cards.
The code 'kop' appears in the second and fourth code phrases, and 'tennis' appears in the second and fourth English phrases. Therefore 'kop' = tennis.
In the second code phrase 'kop ja ki ma', removing the codes for tennis (kop), playing (ki) and is (ma) leaves 'ja'. Therefore 'ja' corresponds to 'Asha'.
Conclusion: 'ja' means Asha.
