B.
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C.
Either I or II is sufficient
Answer
D.
Neither I nor II is sufficient
E.
Both I and II are sufficient

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
'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.,
