5 or 3

- The given phrases and their codes are:

- ‘Numbers are even’ -> ‘5 3 +’

- ‘Odd factors are multiples’ -> ‘+ 7 6 @’

- The word 'are' is common in both phrases.

- In both codes, '+' is the common symbol.

- Therefore, '+' corresponds to 'are'.

- Now, we focus on ‘Numbers are even’ which translates to ‘5 3 +’:

- We have removed '+', corresponding to ‘are’. Thus, ‘even’ is either ‘5’ or ‘3’.

- Option 1: '1, 7' is incorrect.

- Option 2: '5 or 3' is plausible for 'even'.

- Option 3: '+' is 'are', so incorrect.

- Option 4: '6' does not match any part of ‘even’.

Correct Answer: Option 2 - 5 or 3
