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

Answer 1

The correct option is B

if the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question

From the statement I: 'Na Si La Lo' means 'you may go now' -------- (1)
'Ne Si Na Pe' means 'he may go there' ------- (2)

From (1) and (2), it is clear that 'Si Na' means 'may go' and 'Ne Pe' means 'he there'.
So, 'Pe' means 'he' or 'there'

From the statement II: 'Ki Se Pe Bo' means 'come there and see' --------- (3)
'Se Ni Bo Ki' means 'come here and see' -------- (4)

From (3) and (4), it is clear that 'Se Bo Ki' means 'come and see' -------- (5)
Now from (3) and (5), it is clear that 'Pe' means 'there'.

Hence, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
