Correct Answer: 9


Solution : Given:
(I) 591⇒sky is blue
(II) 256⇒sea is deep
(III) 609⇒sea looks blue

By comparing all the three coded sentences, we find that –
In sentences I and II, 5 and is are common.
In sentences II and III, 6 and sea are common.
In sentences I and III, 9 and blue are common.
The remaining words and codes in sentence I are 1 and sky ; in sentence II are 2 and deep ; in sentence III are 0 and looks .
Finally, 5⇒is, 6⇒sea, 9⇒blue, 1⇒sky, 2⇒deep, 0⇒looks.

So, blue is coded as 9. Hence, the second option is correct.
