C. if the data either in statement I alone or in statement Il alone are sufficient to answer the question
D. if the data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer

C

Explanation

Given expression : 144 $ 16 `**` 7# 9.
From statement I:
$ means +, `**` means `xx` and # means +.
Using these symbols in the given expression, we get
`144 div 16 xx 7 +9`. or, `9xx7+9" or "63+9 = 72`.
So, statement I alone is sufficient.
From statement II : 16 $ 4 `**` 2 # 2 = 10.
or, `16 div 4xx 2 + 2 = 10`
or, `4xx 2 + 2 = 10`
or `8+2 = 10`
or, `10 = 10`,
which is true.
So, $ means `div, **` means `xx` and # means +.
Substituting these symbols in the given expression, we get
`144 div 16 xx 7 +9" or "9 xx 7 +9 "or "63 +9" or "72`.
So, statement II alone is sufficient.
Therefore, the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the given question.
