Solutions:

S1.Ans.(a)
Sol. ‘253’ -> ‘books are old’  …….(i)
‘546’ -> ‘man is old’                …….(ii)
‘378’ -> ‘buy good books’    …….(iii)
In (i) and (ii) statements, So ‘5’ means ‘old’.
In (i) and (iii) statements, So, ‘3’ means ‘books’.
Thus, in the (i) statement ‘2’ means ‘are’. 

S2.Ans.(d)
Sol. 8 is coded as E, 6 as K, 2 as D, 9 as J, 4 as B, 1 as L.
So, the code for 862941 is EKDJBL.

S3.Ans.(d) 
Sol. BRANCH 

S4.Ans.(c)
Sol. The letters in the series are alternate and the numbers indicate their position in the English alphabet from the beginning.
