Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 85.

The logic used here is:

‘she needs some medicines’ is written as ‘1542’, ‘take some water’ is written as ‘849’, ‘he needs rest’ is written as ‘713’, and ‘she is water’ is written as ‘269’

Code for the word she = 2

Code for the word needs = 1

Code for the word some = 5

Code for the word medicines = 5

Code for the word water =  9

Code for the word take =  8

So, the code for the phrase ‘take medicines’ is 85.
