Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 503.

Understanding Application

Given :

Sky is blue⇒ 815

blue and red ⇒ 725

Ram likes red⇒ 203 

Sita and ram⇒ 379

The logic used here is:

Each word has a particular code.

Code for blue = 5

Code for Ram = 3

Code for red = 2

Code for likes = 0

Code for and = 7

Code for blue = 5

Similarly,

The code for ‘Ram likes blue’ =

Ram = 3

likes = 0 

blue = 5

Ram likes blue = 503

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
