Option B —
7
To solve coding-decoding problems like this, we use the elimination method by comparing the phrases to find common words and their corresponding numbers.Step-by-Step Breakdown:
1. Compare the first and second statements:
'731' = 'study very hard'
'953' = 'hard work pays'
Common word: 'hard' | Common number: 3
Result: hard = 3
2. Compare the first and third statements:
'731' = 'study very hard'
'145' = 'study and work'
Common word: 'study' | Common number: 1
Result: study = 1
3. Find the code for 'very':
Look back at the first statement: '731' = 'study very hard'
We already know: study = 1 and hard = 3.
The only remaining number in '731' is 7, and the only remaining word is very.
Result: very = 7
