​Conditions:
If the first element is a symbol and the last a number, the codes for these two (the first and the last elements) are to be interchanged.
If the first element is an odd number and the last an even number, the first and last elements are to be coded as ©.
If both second and third elements are perfect cubes, the third element is to be coded as the code for the second element.
What will be the code for the following group?
3 9 8 *​​

Given: 

Conditions:
i. If the first element is a symbol and the last a number, the codes for these two (the first and the last elements) are to be interchanged.

False, first and last element is not symbol and number.
ii. If the first element is an odd number and the last an even number, the first and last elements are to be coded as ©.

False, first and last element is not an odd number and an even number.
iii. If both second and third elements are perfect cubes, the third element is to be coded as the code for the second element.

False, both second and third elements are not perfect cubes.
So, the code of 3 9 8 * is C N B S.

Thus, correct option is (b).
