A

dus lap nop✓✗

B

na lap ugli✓✗

C

lui lap ugli✓✗

D

dus lap ugli✓✗

Explanation

'Flower' is common to the first two sentences, and the common code is 'na', so flower = na. 'He' and 'gets' are common with the third sentence: He = nop, gets = lap, so Bunty = dus and nothing = ugli.
'Bunty gets nothing' = dus lap ugli.

Question 46

In a certain code language, “ORANGE” is written as “NTETOO”. How would “BLACK” be written in that language ?

A

ANEIS✓✗
