Question
In a certain code language: (i) slar means
jump (ii) slary means jumping (iii) slarend means jumped Which of the following words could mean ‘playing’ in that language?Solution
Given: slar → jump slary → jumping slarend → jumped From this, we can deduce that: The root “slar” corresponds to the verb “jump” “-y” appears to be a suffix for present participle (-ing) “-end” appears to be a suffix for past tense (-ed) Now we are asked: Which of the following could mean “playing”? We should look for a word that follows a similar structure: Root word for "play", plus Suffix “y” (based on “jumping” = slary) Let’s evaluate the options: A) clargslarend Ends in “end” → likely means past tense, like “jumped” Not “playing” B) clargy Ends in “y”, like “slary” (jumping) “clarg” could be the root for “play” Possible meaning: “playing” C) ellaclarg No “y” or “end” → appears to be just the root word Possibly means “play”, not “playing” D) slarmont Uses known root “slar” → related to jump Not related to “play” Correct Answer: B) clargy
