In a certain code language, what is the code for 'red'? Statement I: In that language 'red apple' is written as 'pa na'. Statement II: In that language 'red car' is written as 'pa ta' and 'blue car' is written as 'sa ta'.

Question

Accepted Answer

Statement II alone is sufficient but Statement I alone is not. In Statement II, 'car' is common to both phrases so it must be 'ta', leaving 'red' = 'pa'. Statement I alone cannot separate the two codes.
