The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's analyze the given coded messages: 1. **Identify the Codes and Their Meanings:** - (A) '134' means 'you are well' - (B) '758' means 'they go home' - (C) '839' means 'we are home' 2. **Find the Common Words and Codes:** - From (B) and (C), the common word is 'home'. - The code for 'home' is the common digit in both codes: - '758' (from B) and '839' (from C). - The common digit is '8'. - Therefore, 'home' is represented by '8'. 3. **Analyze the Remaining Codes:** - Now we need to determine which code represents 'they'. - From (B) '758', we have: - 'they', 'go', 'home' corresponds to '7', '5', '8'. - Since we already know 'home' is '8', we are left with '7' and '5' for 'they' and 'go'. 4. **Check for Additional Information:** - We cannot determine which of '7' or '5' corresponds to 'they' or 'go' because: - 'go' does not appear in any other code to help us identify it. - Therefore, we cannot definitively assign '7' or '5' to 'they' or 'go'. 5. **Conclusion:** - Since we do not have enough information to determine which digit represents 'they', we conclude that the answer is that more data is needed to identify which code represents 'they'. ### Final Answer: The answer is that we cannot determine which digit represents 'they' based on the given information.

To solve the problem step by step, let's analyze the given coded messages: 1. **Identify the Codes and Their Meanings:** - (A) '134' means 'you are well' - (B) '758' means 'they go home' - (C) '839' means 'we are home' 2. **Find the Common Words and Codes:** ...
