In a certain code 'a friend of mine' is written as '4 9 1 6', 'mine lot of metal' is written as '3 1 0 9' and 'a piece of metal' is written as '7 1 6 3'. How can '6 7 3' be written in same code?

(A) a metal piece

(B) metal for friend

(C) piece of advice

(D) Data inadequate

Answer 1

The correct option is: (A) a metal piece

Explanation:

a friend of mine → 4916 ...(i)

mine lot of metal → 3109 ...(ii)

a piece of metal → 7163 ...(iii)

From (i), (ii) and (iii), 'of is '1'.

From (ii) and (iii), 'metal' is '3'.

From (i) and (iii), 'a' is '6'.

So, from (iii), '7' is 'piece'.

So, '673' can be written as 'a metal piece'
