In a certain code 253 means 'books are old' , 546 means 'man is old' and '378' means 'buy good books' what stands for 'are' in that code?

• ans:2
  in 'books are old' and 'man is old' 'old' and '5' is common. similarly in 'books are old' and 'buy good books' 'books' and '3' is common. in 253 '2' remains i.e 2='are'
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(32) No(2)
• ans will be 2
  in 253 and 546 old is common so old=5
  in 253 and 378 books is common so books=3
  so 'are'=2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
• ans is -2
  books are old as- 253 ---eq1
  man is old as- 546 -------eq2
  buy good books as-378 ----eq3
  so comparing eq1 and eq3 we get code for books as 3.
  and comparing eq1 and eq2 we get code for old as 5.
  now compare again equation 1 with the given code...and code for "are" is --2.

• answer is 2 because in 253 and 546 we have 5 common that means 5 stands for "old". now between 253 and 378, 3 is common that means 3 stands for "books" now in first code 253 only 2 is left that means 2 is for "are"
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
• 1---->253= books are old
  2----->546= man is old
  From 1 &2 number 5 is common and word old is common so 5=old
  1------> 253=books are old
  3-------378= buy good books
  from 1& 3 number 3 is common and word books is common so 3=books
  so in statement 1 only left number is 2 and word is are so 2=are

• answer is 2
  explanation:- "books are old" and "man is old" common part is old so in that 253 and 546 common no is 5 so old=5. Next "books are old" and "buy good books" common part is books so 253 and 378 common is 3 i.e.., books=3 so are=2

• ans is 2
  books are old 253
  man is old 546
  buy good books 378
  so comparing all the three we get
  
  
  "old" as 5
  "books" as 3
  "are" as 2
  wheras
  
  there is uncertainity regarding "man" and "is" which is either 4 or 6
  
  and "buy" and "good" which may be either 7 or 8
  
  but the answer comes up as they ask the code for "are"...

• 2 stands for are
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 2 obviously
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 2 since 3 for books and 5 are for old
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Books are old and buy good books have books in common and 3v in common so 3-repesents books
  then we have old common in books are old and man i old so 5 is=old
  so from books are old we get are=2

• n 'books are old' and 'man is old' 'old' and '5' is common. similarly in 'books are old' and 'buy good books' 'books' and '3' is common. in 253 '2' remains i.e 'are'=2.
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 2 comes bcz after solving the 3 equations..
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 5 and old are common in 1st and 2nd code so 5=old
  now 3 and books are common in 1st and 3rd code so 3=books
  so only left 2 and are in 1st code so are=2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 2 is the ans
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 2
  253 and 378 common are book(3) simmilarly
  546 and 253 common are old (5)

• ans:2
  in 'books are old' and 'man is old' 'old' and '5' is common. similarly in 'books are old' and 'buy good books' 'books' and '3' is common. in 253 '2' remains i.e 2='are'
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• books=3,old=5 then are=2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• The common choices can be eliminated 3 is code for 'books' and 5 for 'old'.
  The code for 'are' will be 2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 253:books are old, 546:man is old so old stands for 5 later 378:buy good books so we can say books stands for 3 so are is 2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• since 5 is common in first two it means old,and 3 is common in first n fourth which means old.therefore only 2 is left which means are
  
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 253 means books are old and 546 means man is old ,Therefore code for old is 5.
  253 means books are old and 378 means buy good books ,Therefore code for books is 3.
  Now d remaining code is 2 which is for are.
  code for 'are' is 2.

• 2 is are, 5 is old, 3 is books
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• are=2;
  simple take common digit from ginen information
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 2
  5= old
  3=books
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• are stand for 2
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• answer is 2
  in 253 and 546 only 5 is common which stands for old
  in 253 and 378 only 3 is common which stands for books
  so only 2 is left in 253 which stands for are

• ans is 2
  in 1st and 2nd sentence old is common and code is 5
  in 1st and 3rd sentence books is common and code is 3
  so code for are is 2
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• IN 253 & 546,5=old,in 253 & 378,3=books....so 2=are
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• common in first and scnd statement is 'old' and no. common is 5 so code for old is 5. now in first and third statement code books is 3. so 'are' is 2
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• between 253,546,378, 2(in 253) is uncommon and are is also uncommon from others so the answer is 2.
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• answer- 2
  if "books are old" and "man is old" then 5 stand for old and 3 stand for books so 2 stands for are.

  man=>5 , is=>7 ,old=>8
  buy=>3 ,good=>7 , books=>8
  so ans is : are->5
