Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both Statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
We need the unique codeword for the English word 'walks' by comparing two coded sentences with overlapping vocabulary.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use set intersection: common English words across sentences share common code tokens; the remaining token in A must map to 'walks'.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Confirm that no alternative mapping exists without violating bijection per sentence. If we reassigned 'he' to either 'she' or 'fast', we would have to reuse one of {ka,to} for 'walks', which contradicts the one-to-one mapping in sentence A.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming a fixed order or mapping 'fast'→'fast-sounding' tokens; ignoring that only the overlap pins two tokens, leaving the third for 'walks'.
Final Answer:
Both together are sufficient ('walks' is coded as 'he').
