In a certain code language, 'zu be da' means 'you are beautiful'. Which code word means 'beautiful' in that language ?
Statements : (I) 'du ga be da' means colourful flowers are beautiful'.
(II) 'ne zu pi' means 'you is me'.
To solve this problem, we need to determine which of the two given statements, alone or together, can help us identify the code word for 'beautiful' in a certain code language. Let's analyze each statement step-by-step.
- Statement (I): 'du ga be da' means 'colourful flowers are beautiful'.
- The given sentence 'colorful flowers are beautiful' in code is 'du ga be da'.
- The word 'are' is represented by the code 'be', as found in the original sentence 'zu be da'. Thus, 'be' means 'are'.
- The word 'beautiful' appears in both the phrases 'you are beautiful' and 'colourful flowers are beautiful', therefore it corresponds to either 'du', 'ga', or 'da'.
- However, simply using Statement (I), we cannot determine which of 'du', 'ga', or 'da' means 'beautiful' as they might be the code for other words like 'colourful' and 'flowers'.
- Statement (II): 'ne zu pi' means 'you is me'.
- The given sentence 'you is me' in code is 'ne zu pi'.
- From 'zu be da' which means 'you are beautiful', the word 'you' is represented by the code 'zu'.
- This statement helps us confirm the code for 'you', but does not provide any information about which code word corresponds to 'beautiful'.
Based on the analysis of both statements:
- Statement (I) alone: Does not provide enough information to identify which exact word among 'du', 'ga', or 'da' stands for 'beautiful'.
- Statement (II) alone: Only provides information about the word 'you', which is irrelevant for finding the word 'beautiful'.
- Both statements together: Still do not provide enough definitive information to determine which single code word represents 'beautiful'.
Conclusion: The correct answer is that both statements (I) and (II) together are not sufficient to answer the question.
