In a certain code language "go home" is written as "ta na", "sweet home" is written as "na ja", "Sweet and Sour" is written as "pa sa ja", then how "Sour" is coded as?

Options

A. pa
B. sa
C. pa or sa
D. na

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to decode the words based on the given code language. Let's analyze the information step by step.

### Step 1: Identify the codes for known phrases
1. "go home" is coded as "ta na".
2. "sweet home" is coded as "na ja".
3. "sweet and sour" is coded as "pa sa ja".

### Step 2: Determine the code for "home"
From the phrases:
- "go home" = "ta na"
- "sweet home" = "na ja"

The common word in both phrases is "home". The common code in both coded phrases is "na". Therefore, we can conclude that:
- The code for "home" is **"na"**.

### Step 3: Determine the code for "sweet"
Now, we look at "sweet home" = "na ja". Since we already established that "home" is "na", we can deduce that:
- The code for "sweet" must be **"ja"**.

### Step 4: Analyze "sweet and sour"
Now we analyze the phrase "sweet and sour" = "pa sa ja". We already know:
- "sweet" = "ja".

This means that "and sour" must correspond to "pa sa".

### Step 5: Determine the code for "sour"
Now we need to find out the individual codes for "and" and "sour". Since we have:
- "sweet" = "ja" (from "sweet home")
- "sweet and sour" = "pa sa ja"

We can conclude that "and" and "sour" are represented by "pa" and "sa". However, we need to identify which code corresponds to "sour".

Since "and" is a conjunction and typically does not have a specific code in such puzzles, we can infer that:
- The code for "sour" is **"sa"**.

### Final Answer
Thus, the code for "Sour" is **"sa"**.
