• 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 in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
• D. If the data given 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 C

If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

'71' means 'injurious habit' and '379' means 'stop bad habit' (from I). Thus, the common code number '7' stands for common word 'habit'. So, '1' represents 'injurious'. Hence, I is sufficient.
Also, '71' means 'injurious habit' and '051' means 'smoking is injurious'. Thus, the common code number '1' stands for common word 'injurious'. So, '7' represents 'habit'. Thus, II is also sufficient.
