Question

    The question given below consists of two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements and give answer.

    In a certain code language, “Hotelier Collapsed died” is coded as “wd cx bs”. “Collapsed Jobs while exercising” is coded as “yq mr cx ko”. What is the code for “Exercising died gym”?

    Statements:

    I. “Exercising incident took” is coded as “pw aq mr” and “Hotelier died gym” is coded as “wd ez bs” in the same coding language.

    II. “Gym while exercising is coded as “Yq ez mr” and “Hotelier exercising took” is coded as “mv bs yq” in the same coding language.

    A 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. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 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. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The data given in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The data in statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Hotelier Collapsed died is coded as “wd cx bs ………… (i) Collapsed Jobs while exercising is coded as “yq mr cx ko……….. (ii) From I. Exercising incident took is coded as “pw aq mr”…….. (iii) Hotelier died gym” is coded as “wd ez bs” ………… (iv) From (i) and (iv), code for Hotelier died is either “wd or bs”. Hence data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. From II. Gym while exercising is coded as “yq ez mr” ……… (v) Hotelier exercising took is coded as “mv bs yq”…….. (vi) From (v) and (vi), code for exercising is “yq”. From (i) and (vi), code for Hotelier is “bs”. From (i) and (ii), code for Collapsed is “cx” and code for died is “wd”. Hence data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
