'59' means Injurious habit' and '157' means 'stop bad habit' (from I). Thus, the common code number '5' stands for common word 'habit'. So. '9' represents 'injurious'.Hence, I is sufficient.

Also, '59' means Injurious habit' and '839' means 'smoking is injurious'. Thus, the common code number '9' stands for common word 'injurious'. So, '5' represents 'habit'. Thus, II is also sufficient.

II. Total age of Vimal, Kunal and Anil is 32 and Anil is as old as Vimal and Kunal together. 

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question; D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) If the data in both the statements together are needed.

Explanation:

As given in statements I and II, we have G = V = K, V + K + A = 32 and A = V + K.

Putting V + K = A in second. we get 2A = 32 or A = 16.

Thus, V + K = 16 and V = K. So, V = K = 8. Thus, R = 8

Hence, both the statements are needed.
