EasyOriginal questionIn a certain code, 'nok bira tel' stands for 'birds fly high' and 'tel fam nok' stands for 'kites fly high'. Which code stands for 'kites'?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
'fly high' is common to both sentences, and so are the codes 'nok' and 'tel'.
Take those away from the second sentence: 'kites' is left, and so is 'fam'.
So 'kites' is 'fam'.
Worth noting
'bira' is the leftover code of the FIRST sentence, so it is the code for 'birds'.
