Answer 1

Answer: (A)

2

In the first and the second statements, the common code digit is '5' and the common word is 'old'. So, '5' means 'old'.
In the first and the third statements, the common code digit is '3' and the common word is 'books'. So, '3' means 'books'.
Thus, in the first statement '2' means 'are'.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
