CMAT questions on LR - Coding Decoding

Asked: the colour of milk in this code.

Rule: "X means Y" says the word X is used for the real colour Y. To name a real colour, find the word that "means" it.

Milk is actually white.

The clue that ends in white is "green means white". So white is called green.

Common trap: reading "white means yellow" and answering Yellow. That clue tells you what the word "white" stands for. Here we need the word that stands for white.

Answer: Green

Find the rule from HAND → SZMW:

Each pair of positions adds to 27. So every letter is replaced by its opposite letter (A↔Z, B↔Y, …).

Apply the rule to MILK:

• M (13) → N (14)
• I (9) → R (18)
• L (12) → O (15)
• K (11) → P (16)

Answer: NROP

a^b means a < b.

c*d means c = d.

c#b means c > b.

So from the above statements, we can conclude that c = d > b > a.

Hence, option (d).
