Tip 1 Break the given words in the artificial
language as well as English into smaller parts to
find their translations

• Question Here are some words translated from an
  artificial language.
• (I) migenlasan means cupboard (II)
  lasanpoen means boardwalk
• (III) cuopdansa means pullman
• Which word could mean "walkway ?
• poenmigen B. cuopeisel C. lasandansa D.
  poenforc
• Solution
• Board is common between cupboard and boardwalk.
  Since lasan is common between migenlasan and
  lasanpoen, we can conclude that lasan implies
  board and poen implies walk. Both A and D
  start with poen but migen means cup and
  therefore A can be rejected. Thus, the correct
  answer is poenforc, i.e., D.
• Question Here are some words translated from an
  artificial language.
• (I) apatose means first base (II) epatose means
  second base (III) lartabuk means ballpark
• Which of the following words could mean
  baseball ?
• A. buklarta B. oseepta C. bukose D. oselarta
  
• Solution
• The word for base could be patose or atose
  or tose or ose etc. From the options, since
  ose is common across options B, C and D, we can
  conclude that the translation for base is
  ose. The words in both the artificial language
  and English appear in the same order. Thus,
  option C can be eliminated. Among B and D, only D
  has the phrase larta from lartabuk which
  corresponds to ball. So, the correct option is
  D.

Tip 2 Eliminate options with (a) incorrect
translations and/ or (b) incorrect order of
appearance of the words
Question Here are some words translated from an
artificial language. (I) agnoscrenia means
poisonous spider (II) delanocreania means
poisonous snake (III) agnosdeery means brown
spider. Which word could mean black widow
spider? A. deeryclostagnos B. agnosdelano
C. agnosvitriblunin D.
trymuttiagnos Solution It is evident that in
the artificial language, nouns appear first and
then the adjectives, with the phrase agnos
meaning spider. Thus, it should appear first.
This eliminates options A and D. Now, delano
means snake, so this eliminates option B. Hence,
the answer is C. Question Here are some words
translated from an artificial language. (I)
jalkamofti means happy birthday (II)
moftihoze means birthday party (III) mentogunn
means goodness. Which of the following could
mean happiness A. jalkagunn B. mentohoze
C. moftihoze D. Hozemento Solution In
the artificial language, the phrase mufti is
common between happy birthday and birthday
party and therefore, it refers to birthday.
Hence, jalka means happy. There is only one
option with this phrase. So the correct answer is
A.
