In a code language, what is the code for the word 'PEN'? Statement I: In the language, 'RED PEN' is written as 'la ta'. Statement II: In the language, 'PEN BOX' is written as 'ta sa'.

Question

Accepted Answer

Both statements together are needed (neither alone is sufficient). Neither statement alone shows which symbol is PEN. The word PEN is common to both, and 'ta' is the shared symbol, so PEN = 'ta'. Both are needed.
