Discussion
In a certain code language 'how many goals scored' is written as '5 3 9 7'; 'many more matches' is written as '9 8 2'; and 'he scored five' is written as '1 6 3'. How is 'goals' written in that code language ?
Answer: C
'Goals' is written as 5 or 7.
Compare the coded sentences word by word. 'Many' appears in the first two sentences, and the only common code is 9, so many = 9. 'Scored' appears in the first and third, and the only common code is 3, so scored = 3.
That leaves the codes 5 and 7 for the remaining words of the first sentence, 'how' and 'goals'. Neither word appears anywhere else, so there is no way to tell which code belongs to which. 'Goals' is therefore 5 or 7, and the options giving 5 alone or 7 alone claim more than the information shows; 'None of these' is wrong because one of the two codes is correct.
