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

Statements:

  1. In that code language, 'Te Le Pa Na' means 'You eat many mangoes' and 'Le Na Da' means 'You sell mangoes'.
  2. In the code language, 'Ge Na Se La Le' means 'They eat bananas and mangoes' and 'Ne De Le La' means 'Who others eat bananas'.

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:

In 'You eat many mangoes' and 'Who others eat bananas', the common word is 'eat' and the common code word is 'Le'. So, 'Le' means 'eat'.

In 'You eat many mangoes' and 'They eat bananas and mangoes', the common code word 'Le' stands for 'eat'. So, the other common code word 'Na' stands for the other common word i.e. 'mangoes'.

Yes, I agree with both of you.

If le stands for eat then there is no word called eat in the second half of the 1st statement.

Question is wrong because if Le means eat then le na da can not be "you sell mangoes".
