What does 'nip' stand for in a code language?
I. In the code language, 'that is very beautiful' is written as 'se nip sre num'.
II. In the same code language, ' my house is beautiful' is written as 'nip sto sre tip'.
- (a)
if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
- (b)
if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
- (c)
if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
- (d)
if the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question; and
- (e)
if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
In I and II, the common codes are 'nip' and 'sre' and the common words are 'is' and 'beautiful'. So, 'nip' and 'sre' are the codes for 'is' and 'beautiful'. But, the exact word for 'nip' cannot be found out.

What is the code for 'or' in the code language?
I. 'nik sa te' means 'right or wrong', 'ro da nik' means 'he is right' and 'fe te ro' means 'that is wrong'.
II. 'pa nik la' means 'that right man', 'sa ne pa' means 'this or that' and 'ne ka re' means 'tell this there'.
- (a)
if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
- (b)
if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question;
- (c)
if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question;
- (d)
if the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question; and
- (e)
if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
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 'that right man' and 'tell this there', the common word is 'this' and the common code word is 'te'. So, 'ne' means 'this'.
Thus, in 'that right man', 'sa' is the code for 'or'.

In a certain code language, '297' means 'tie clip button'. Which number means 'button' in that language?

- (d)
if the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question; and
- (e)
if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
In given statement and I, the common words are 'tie' and 'clip' and the common codes are '2' and '9'. So, '2' and '9' are the codes for 'tie and 'clip'. Thus, in the given statement, '7' means 'button'. In given statement and II, and the common code word '7' represents the common word 'button'.

- (e)
if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
We know that in a partnership, the profit is distributed in proportion of their investments.
From I, Raj got \(\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }\) i.e. \(\left( \frac { 2 }{ 5 } \times 100 \right) \) % = 40% of total profit.
From II, Raj and Altaf made 60% of total investment.
Thus, they together shall get 60% of total profit.
So, Karan's share of profit = (100 - 60)% = 40%.
\(\therefore\) Altaf's share of profit = [100 - (40 + 40)]% = 20%.
Hence, required proportion = 40 : 40 : 20 = 2 : 2 : 1.

All I, II and III
- (d)
Either I only or II only
- (e)
None of these
To find the code for 'we', we need to have any of the following:
(i) 'We are friends' should have only 'We' common with another statement, as in II;
(ii) 'We are friends' should have only 'are' and 'friends' common with another single or two statements, as in I and III.
Thus, we need Either II only or I and III only.
You have to decide whether the data given in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements carefully and find which of the statements is sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative in each question.

Given : P> S, T < T ...(i)
From I, we have : P < R ...(ii)
From II, we have : R < S ...(iii)
From III, we have : Tom is the youngest ...(iv)
From (i) and (ii), we get : P < S, T < R < S. So, Sonali is the oldest.

Who is the tallest among six boys P, T, N, D, Q and R ?
I. P is taller than D and N but not as tall as T.
II. R is taller than Q but not as tall as T.
III. Q is not taller than T and R.
- (a)
Only I and II
- (b)
Only II and III
- (c)
Only I and III
- (d)
All I, II and III
- (e)
Only I and either I or III
From I, we have : P > D, P > N, T > P i.e. T > P > D > N or T > P > N > D ...(i)
From II, we have : R > Q, T > R i.e. T > R > Q ...(ii)
From III, we have : T > Q, R > Q ...(iii)
Clearly, from (i) and (ii), we conclude that T is taller than each one of P, N, D, R and Q. So, T is the tallest.

What is the total monthly salary of VasVasu?
Vasu's basic salary is Rs 100 more than Rajan's salary who also serves in Vasu's company.

- (e)
All I, II and III
From III, we have: Rajan's basic salary = Rs. 1550.
From I, we have: Vasu's basic salary = Rs. (1550 + 100) = Rs. 1650.
From II, we have: Rajan's other allowances = Rs. 2000 and Vasu's other allowances = Rs. 2050.
\(\therefore\) Vasu's monthly salary = Rs. (1650 + 2050) = Rs. 3700.
