**In a certain code language, how is the word "Utility" coded?**

**Statements:**

I. "man power required" is coded as "N12 E23 G15", "power sector source" is coded as "N12 D21 Q17", "man utility source" is coded as "E23 L14 Q17", and "global sector required" is coded as "T34 D21 G15".

II. "Indian capital income" is coded as "W21 B14 S31", "source of capital" is coded as "Q17 M29 B14", "income utility source" is coded as "S31 L14 Q17", and "capital income surplus" is coded as "B14 S31 F18".

**Based on the above statements, choose the correct option regarding the sufficiency of data to find the code of "Utility".**

II. "Indian capital income" is coded as "W21 B14 S31", "source of capital" is coded as "Q17 M29 B14", "income utility source" is coded as "S31 L14 Q17", and "capital income surplus" is coded as "B14 S31 F18".

**Based on the above statements, choose the correct option regarding the sufficiency of data to find the code of "Utility".**

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From **Statement I**, observe the code for the phrase "man utility source" which is "E23 L14 Q17".
   - We know from other phrases that "man" corresponds to "E23" and "source" corresponds to "Q17".
   - Therefore, the remaining code "L14" must represent "utility".

2. From **Statement II**, look at the phrase "income utility source" coded as "S31 L14 Q17".
   - From other phrases, "income" is "S31" and "source" is "Q17".
   - Hence, "L14" corresponds to "utility" here as well.

3. Since both statements independently provide enough information to identify the code for "utility" as "L14", either statement alone is sufficient.

**Answer:** (c) Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient
