Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:We must identify the unique code token for the English word 'never' via overlapping coded sentences.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Intersect common words and codes to eliminate shared pairs; leftover tokens in S1 would correspond to {never, ever} but remain ambiguous.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Common English words across S1 and S2: {go, there}. Common codes: {ni, ho} (order unknown).Removing these from S1 leaves {na, ja} mapping to {never, ever}, which cannot be distinguished without an additional sentence containing exactly one of {never, ever}.Verification / Alternative check:No arrangement of the S2 tokens resolves the tie between {na, ja}.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:Assuming alphabetical/semantic hints; DS forbids using such external cues.
Final Answer:D — Together not sufficient.
