Question

The given question consists of a set of statements. Find out whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question and mark the option:

How is ‘cost’ written in the given code language?
I. In the code language ‘tell me the cost’ is coded as ‘@ 0 # 9’ and ‘cost was very high’ is coded as ‘& 6 # 1’.
II. In the code language ‘some cost was discount’ is coded as ‘187#’ and ‘some people like discount’ is coded as ‘875$\%$’.

• A. If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
• B. If the data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
• C. If the data either in Statement I alone or Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
• D. If the data in both the Statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer the question.
• E. If the data in both the Statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.

Answer 1

The correct option is A If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement I,
tell me the cost $\to$ @ 0 # 9
cost was very high $\to$ & 6 # 1
cost $\to$ #
From Statement II,
Some cost was discount $\to$ 1 8 7 #
some people like discount $\to$ 8 7 5 $\%$
$\Rightarrow$ some discount $\to$ 8 7
and cost $\to$ either 1 or #
Thus, we can get the code of ‘cost’ from Statement I only.
Hence, data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question.
