In a certain code language “third conviction past’ is coded as “bns, los, rvd”. “conviction three months” is coded as “los, mna, asm”. What is the code for “third” in the same code language? Statement I: “gangster past turned Politician” is coded as “wsx, rvd, anr, qmf” in the same code language. Statement II: “slapped monetary turned third” is coded as “bns, mny, bdx, anr” in the same code language.

“third conviction past’ is coded as “bns, los, rvd” …… (i) “conviction three months” is coded as “los, mna asm”…….. (ii) From I. “gangster past turned Politician” is coded as “wsx, rvd, anr, qmf” ……… (iii) From (i) and (iii), we will get the code for ‘past’ is ‘rvd’. From (i) and (ii), we will get the code for ‘conviction’ is ‘los’. Now, it is clear that code for ‘third’ is ‘bns’. From II. “slapped monetary turned third” is coded as “bns, mny, bdx, anr” …….. (iv) From (i) and (iv), we will get the code for ‘third’ is ‘bns’. Hence the data given in either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
