6 or 8

- The phrase ‘sand is hot’ translates to the code ‘6 8 9’.

- The phrase ‘grains are white sand’ translates to the code ‘4 3 9 2’.

- The word ‘sand’ appears in both sentences and is coded as ‘9’ in both.

- Therefore, ‘9’ corresponds to ‘sand’.

- For the sentence ‘sand is hot’, the possible codes left for ‘is’ and ‘hot’ are ‘6’ and ‘8’.

- Hence, the code for ‘hot’ must be either ‘6’ or ‘8’.

- The correct option is Option 2: 6 or 8.
