In a certain code language, '617' means 'sweet and hot' ;
'735' means 'coffee is sweet'  and
'263' means 'tea is hot'.
Which of the  following would mean 'coffee is hot' ?

Answer: B. 536

In the first and third statements, the common code digit is '6' and the common word is 'hot'.
So '6' means 'hot'.
In the second and third statements, the common code digit is '3' and the common word is 'is'.
So '3' means 'is'.
In the first and second statements, the common code digit is '7' and the common word is 'sweet'.
So, in the second statement, '5' means 'coffee'.
