• B. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question,while the data in statement I all are not sufficient to answer the question;
• C. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
• D. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;
• E. If the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct option is D If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question;

• The code for 'come' cannot be ascertained by considering the statements individually. So, combining both the statements, we get, 'pit na ja' means, 'come and go' and 'na dik sa' means 'you may go'. Now since 'na' is common between the two statements, we can infer that 'na' means 'go'. But, no such information can be deduced about 'come'.
• Thus, the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
