Question: What is the code for 'or' in the code language?

Statements:

  1. 'nik sa te' means 'right or wrong', 'ro da nik' means 'he is right' and 'fe te ro' means 'that is wrong'.
  2. 'pa nik la' means 'that right man', 'sa ne pa' means 'this or that' and 'ne ka re' means 'tell this there'.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option
Explanation:

I. In 'right or wrong' and 'he is right', the common word is 'right' and the common code word is 'nik'. So 'nik' means 'right'. In 'right or wrong' and 'that is wrong', the common word is 'wrong' and the common code word is 'te'. So, 'te' means 'wrong'.

Thus, in 'right or wrong', 'sa' is the code for 'or'. II. In 'that right man' and 'this or that', the common word is 'that' and the common code word is 'pa'. So, 'pa' means 'that'. In 'this or that' and 'tell this there', the common word is 'this' and the common code word is 'ne'. So, 'ne' means 'this'. Thus, in 'this or that', 'sa' is the code for 'or'.

I think it should be option E because both the statements are sufficient.

Option C is correct.

'nik sa te' = 'right or wrong'
'ro da nik' = 'he is right'
right=nik
'fe te ro' = 'that is wrong'
wrong=te

Or=sa ->found from statement 1

'Sa ne pa' = 'this or that'
'Ne ka re' = 'tell this there'
this = ne
'Pa nik la' = 'that right man'
Pa = that
Sa = or->found from statement 2.

I think it should be Option D.

It should be A.

There is no common word for 'this'.

Will anyone please explain this clearly?

I think the logic is missing.

How can statement II is sufficient?
