Reasoning ability

Although all banks are financial institutions, the subset of financial institutions that are cooperative societies may not overlap with banks at all. Therefore, the conclusion cannot be definitely determined as true or false based solely on the given premises. Options like 'True' are incorrect because they assume an overlap that is not logically guaranteed.

By comparing the coded phrases, we can determine the specific digit assigned to each word. Here, the digit 9 uniquely represents 'job' based on the shared terms in the clues, making option C the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because 'sweet' is represented by the digit 6, which is common to the first and third phrases.

Following the same coding, the base sum of APPLE is 50; however the question adds one extra point for each repeated letter, and since P appears twice, 2 points are added, yielding 52, which matches option C. A diagram for this topic isn't available yet — the worked example below walks the same reasoning step by step.

• !Option A (50) ignores the extra points for repeated letters, so it is not the answer expected.
• !Therefore, the exact pair at the extreme ends cannot be determined, making Option C incorrect.
• !Options like 'True' are incorrect because they assume an overlap that is not logically guaranteed.
• !Option A is incorrect because 'sweet' is represented by the digit 6, which is common to the first and third phrases.
