Question 1

In code: 639 = 'earth is green', 32 = 'green colour', 265 = 'colour is beauty'. Which digit means 'beauty'?

Accepted Answer

2 — Common digit between '639' and '265' for shared word 'is' → 6. Common between '32' and '265' for 'colour' → 2. Wait — '32' shares with '265' via... let me re-derive: 639 (earth, is, green) ∩ 32 (green, colour) shared word green → digit 3 or 6 or 9 ∩ 3 or 2 = 3. So green=3. 32 has 'green colour' → 3=green, 2=colour. 265 (colour is beauty) has 2,6,5. 2=colour, then 6=is (from 639 ∩ 265 sharing 'is'), so 5=beauty. Answer: 5 (D).
