How is the word ‘season’ coded?
Statement I : ‘Season change by nature’ is coded as ‘4 8 12 9’ and ‘Change is law nature’ is coded as ‘5 12 24 4’.
Statement II : ‘New season came today’ is coded as ‘7 9 51 35’ and ‘Today change came tomorrow’ is coded as ’21 35 12 19’.
Options
- AIf the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question
- BIf the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question
- CIf the data in statements I and II is necessary to answer the question
- DIf the data in statements I and II is not sufficient to answer the question
Correct answer
C.
If the data in statements I and II is necessary to answer the question
Step-by-step solution
Checking statement I:
Statement I: ‘Season change by nature’ is coded as ‘4 8 12 9’ and ‘Change is law nature’ is coded as ‘5 12 24 4’.
Using this, code for the word season cannot be found.
Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
Statement II: ‘New season came today’ is coded as ‘7 9 51 35’ and ‘Today change came tomorrow’ is coded as ’21 35 12 19’.
Using this also, code for season cannot be found.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking statements I and II:
Using both the statements we can say that the code for ‘season’ is 9.
Therefore data in both the statements is necessary to answer the question.
Hence option C is correct.
Statement I: ‘Season change by nature’ is coded as ‘4 8 12 9’ and ‘Change is law nature’ is coded as ‘5 12 24 4’.

Hence data in statement I is not sufficient.
Checking statement II:
Statement II: ‘New season came today’ is coded as ‘7 9 51 35’ and ‘Today change came tomorrow’ is coded as ’21 35 12 19’.
Using this also, code for season cannot be found.
Hence data in statement II is not sufficient.
Checking statements I and II:
