Answer: a. 234

Explanation:

Following the conditions,

the first digit "2" being the answer when third digit "4" is divided by 2, that leaves us with

4/2= 2

The second condition beinf that the second digit "3" and third digit "4" add up to 7.

3 + 4 = 7

And the last condition being that second digit "3" mnus first digit "2" gives us 1 when solved.

3 -2 = 1

This ends up giving us the digits 234 as the code for R.
