Correct Answer :

Option C

9

Solution :

The correct option is 9.

Let's analyze the given words and their corresponding codes to find the code for each individual letter.

We are given:
1. 'BELI' is coded as '6315'
2. 'EVIL' is coded as '9653'

Now, let's compare both words and find the letters that are common to both:

The letters present in both 'BELI' and 'EVIL' are E, L, and I.

Let's look at the digits present in both corresponding codes '6315' and '9653':
The common digits are 6, 3, and 5.

This means the set of letters {E, L, I} corresponds to the set of digits {6, 3, 5}.

Now, let's look at the remaining letter in the word 'EVIL':
The letters in 'EVIL' are E, V, I, and L.
Since {E, L, I} correspond to digits {6, 3, 5}, the remaining letter in 'EVIL' is V.

Looking at the code for 'EVIL' which is '9653', the digits used are 9, 6, 5, and 3.
Since {6, 5, 3} are assigned to {E, L, I}, the remaining unique digit for the letter V must be 9.

Therefore, the code for 'V' is 9.
