Direction: Study the information given carefully and answer the question given below.

I) In a certain code language, “Fruits are rotten” is coded as “fgh spu myt” and “Sweet sour candy” is coded as “brd cwa pza”, “sour rotten grapes” is coded as “cwa spu alp” and “Fruits juicy sweet” is coded as “myt qmh brd”.

II) In a certain code language, “Season of grapes” is coded as “alp dmb evb”, “Dry season fruits” is coded as “rex brd evb” and “dry mangoes pickle” is coded as “sap rex web”.

What is the code for “grapes”?

  1. If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  2. If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
  3. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
  4. If the data in both statement I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
  5. If the data in both statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

According to the question:

I) In a certain code language, “Fruits are rotten” is coded as “fgh spu myt” and “Sweet sour candy” is coded as “brd cwa pza”, “sour rotten grapes” is coded as “cwa spu alp” and “Fruits juicy sweet” is coded as “myt qmh brd”.

Task Id 1084 Daman (1)

Here, code for 'grapes' is 'alp'. Therefore statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

II) In a certain code language, “Season of grapes” is coded as “alp dmb evb”, “Dry season fruits” is coded as “rex brd evb” and “dry mangoes pickle” is coded as “sap rex web”.

Task Id 1084 Daman (2)

Here, code for 'grapes' can be either 'alp' or 'dmb'. Thus cannot be determined, therefore statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Thus, the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
