Data Sufficiency — code language: find the code for the word ‘‘or’’ Two independent code sets are given for cross-checking. Statements: I. 'nik sa te' = 'right or wrong'; 'ro da nik' = 'he is right'; 'fe te ro' = 'that is wrong'. II. 'pa nik la' = 'that right man'; 'sa ne pa' = 'this or that'; 'ne ka re' = 'tell this there'. Choose the correct sufficiency option to determine the code for 'or'.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Either I or II is sufficient

Explanation:


From Statement I
'ro da nik' = 'he is right' and 'fe te ro' = 'that is wrong' ⇒ common code 'ro' = 'is'. In 'nik sa te' = 'right or wrong', with 'nik' = 'right' (from the first), and 'te' = 'wrong' (from the second), the remaining code is 'sa' = or.


From Statement II
'ne ka re' = 'tell this there' ⇒ 'ne' = 'this'. So in 'sa ne pa' = 'this or that', 'ne' = 'this' ⇒ 'pa' = 'that' ⇒ 'sa' = or.


Conclusion
Either I or II is sufficient to identify the code for 'or' (it is 'sa').
