In a certain code language, what does the code 'ta' stand for? Statement I: In that language 'ta' represents a colour. Statement II: In that language 'ta pa' means 'red rose' and 'pa la' means 'rose garden'. Which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question?

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement II alone is sufficient but Statement I alone is not. In II, 'rose' is common to both phrases and 'pa' the common code, so pa = rose and ta = red. Statement I only says 'ta' is a colour, which is not specific.
