In a certain code language, what is the code for the word 'run'? Statement I: 'run fast now' is written as '2 5 7' and 'now or never' is written as '7 3 9'. Statement II: 'run and jump' is written as '2 6 8'. Which statement(s) is/are sufficient to answer the question?

  • BEither statement alone is sufficient
  • CBoth statements together are needed (neither alone is sufficient)
  • DStatement II alone is sufficient but Statement I alone is not

Step-by-Step Solution

From I, 'now' = 7, so 'run' is 2 or 5 (not isolated). II gives run among {2,6,8}. The value common to both sets is 2, so 'run' = 2 only with both statements.
Answer: C) Both statements together are needed (neither alone is sufficient)
