Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
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, the common code word '7' represents the common word 'button'.

  • 1I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
  • 2II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
  • 3Either I or II is sufficient
  • 4Both I and II are sufficient
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
From II, we can conclude that (1500 * 3) = 500 boxes were sold on Sunday.
