Secret mail
Written on 11:44 pm by Vja Students
The secret agent X emailed a code word to his head office. They are "AIM DUE OAT TIE MOD". But four of these five words are fake and only one contains the information. The agent X also mailed a sentence as a clue - if I tell you any one character of the code word, you would be able to tell the number of vowels in the code word. Can you tell which is the code word?
Answer::
The code word is TIE.
If you were told any one character of MOD, then you would not be able to determine whether the number of vowels are one or two. e.g. if you were told M, there are two words with M - AIM with 2 vowels and MOD with 1 vowel.
So you would not be able to say the number of vowels. same arguments can be given for characters O and D. Hence, the word with any one of M, O or D is not a code word i.e. AIM, DUE, OAT and MOD are not the code word.
Thus, TIE is the code word. T : two words - TIE and OAT, both with 2 vowels I : two words - TIE and AIM, both with 2 vowels E : two words - TIE and DUE, both with 2 vowels.
the ans is "tie"
if i say 't' no.of vowels is 2
---o&a(OAT)
---i&e(TIE)
if i say 'i' no.of vowels is 2
---a&i(AIM)
---i&e(TIE)
if i say 'e' no.of vowels is 2
---u&e(DUE)
---i&e(TIE)
SO ANS IS "TIE"
i think code is DUE
tie.......
if the character revealed is m, we cant exactly tell the number of vowels because..in aim and mod, there r 2 and 1 vowels resp...so the words cannot be aim or mod.
that leaves due, oat and tie
same reason for d and o. hence due and oat is also---saffa
I also agree with TIE. Here is my explanation:
All words except MOD have 2 vowels and TIE is the only word which has no common alphabet with MOD. Hence TIE is the code word!
I am aggree with the Answer 'TIE' here you go..
If I say M then there is confusion b/w MOD (1 vowel) and AIM(2 Vowel), same as if O confusion b/w MOD (1 v) and OAT (2 v) and if D then again b/w MOD (1 v) and DUE(2 v) so only left is TIE.
