In a certain code language, 781 means ‘Flowers of beautiful’, 612 means ‘Roses are red’, and 982 means ‘Roses are beautiful’. What does the number ‘9’ denote?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
From 781 and 982 the shared word 'beautiful' fixes 8 = beautiful. Codes 612 ('Roses are red') and 982 ('Roses are beautiful') share 'are', which maps to the common digit 2, so 2 = are. In 982 the remaining digit after beautiful (8) and are (2) is 9, which therefore stands for 'Roses'.
