In a certain code language, 'fire in mountain' is coded as 'si ph bo'. What is code for 'fire'?
Statements:
(I) 'mountain' is coded as 'bo'.
(II) 'ice and fire' is coded as 'si yu ca'.
Solution:
Statement I:
'mountain' is coded as 'bo'.
This statement alone tells us the code for 'mountain' but does not provide enough information to determine the code for 'fire'.
Statement II:
'ice and fire' is coded as 'si yu ca'.
From the original statement, 'fire in mountain' is coded as 'si ph bo'.
Comparing the two statements, 'fire' is common in both. 'si' is common in both.
Therefore, 'fire' is coded as 'si'.
Conclusion:
Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while Statement I is not.
Hence, the correct answer is 4) Data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in Statement I is not.
