• A. 8
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. Data inadequate
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7

(i) 786 means 'bring apple me'
(ii) 985 means 'cut green apple'
(iii) 645 means 'bring green fruit'
In (i) and (ii), common word is apple and the common code is 8
$\Rightarrow$ 8 means 'apple'
Similarly, from (i) and (iii), we can decipher' 6 means 'bring'.
Now, in (i) the word left is 'me' and the code left is 7
$\Rightarrow$ code for 'me' is 7.
