UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2019
1. bie cie fie (good persons sing)
2. cie fie gie (sing good lyrics)
3. hie gie fie (love good lyrics)
– Comparing 1 and 2: Common words are “cie” and “fie” corresponding to “sing” and “good”.
– Comparing 2 and 3: Common words are “gie” and “fie” corresponding to “lyrics” and “good”.
– From the comparisons, “fie” is common to both sets and corresponds to the common English word “good”. So, fie = good.
– Using fie = good:
– From 2: cie fie gie becomes cie good gie (sing good lyrics). This means {cie, gie} corresponds to {sing, lyrics}.
– From 3: hie gie fie becomes hie gie good (love good lyrics). This means {hie, gie} corresponds to {love, lyrics}.
– Combining {cie, gie} = {sing, lyrics} and {hie, gie} = {love, lyrics}, the common word “gie” corresponds to “lyrics”. So, gie = lyrics.
– Using fie = good and gie = lyrics:
– From 2: cie good lyrics (sing good lyrics). This means cie = sing.
– From 3: hie lyrics good (love good lyrics). This means hie = love.
– Using fie = good, cie = sing:
– From 1: bie sing good (good persons sing). This means bie = persons.
– Final mappings: bie = persons, cie = sing, fie = good, gie = lyrics, hie = love.
– The translation for ‘persons love lyrics’ is ‘bie hie gie’.
