For getting the option set value:

int value = ((OptionSetValue)entity["yourattributename"]).Value;

For getting the text:

String text = entity.FormattedValues["yourattributename"].ToString();

In the above code entity is the Entity object from which the optionset value/text to be retrieved. Please replace the attribute name with your case.
