T E M P O R A L

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

According to the question, specified letters = TEAL

Meaningful words = TALE, LATE

Mohan’s position from left = 40 + 1 - 14 = 27th

From the conditions given in the question, we have the following sitting arrangement.

First code: go home now - ho na ja

Second code: come back home - ja ta ma

Third code: go and come back - sa ta ho ma

From the first and second code we can have code

for ‘home’ as ‘ja’, since ‘home’ is common to both codes.

Similarly, from second and third we have code for ‘come back’ as ‘ta ma’. Therefore the code of ‘back’ is either ‘ta’ or ‘ma’.
