Data Sufficiency — Coding language: What is the code for the word ‘‘is’’? Statement I: ‘‘shi tu ke’’ means ‘‘pen is blue’’. Statement II: ‘‘ke si re’’ means ‘‘this is wonderful’’ in the same code language. Decide which statement(s) are sufficient to determine the code for ‘‘is’’. Choose the correct sufficiency option.

Difficulty: Easy

Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Statement II alone is sufficient, but Statement I alone is not sufficient.
Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient.
Even both statements I and II together are not sufficient.

Correct Answer: Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.

Explanation:

Logic
From I: {shi, tu, ke} ↔ {pen, is, blue}.From II: {ke, si, re} ↔ {this, is, wonderful}.Common English word: ‘‘is’’; common code token: ke.

Why both?
Neither I nor II alone pins ‘‘is’’ uniquely; together they do.
