Correct option is D
To find the code for "softer," let's analyze the given information step by step:
· 'nitco sco tingo' stands for 'softer than flower'
· "softer," "than," and "flower" correspond to "nitco," "sco," and "tingo" (in some order).
· 'tingo rho mst' stands for 'sweeter flower fragrance'
· "sweeter," "flower," and "fragrance" correspond to "tingo," "rho," and "mst" (in some order).
· 'mst sco tmp' stands for 'sweeter than smile'
· "sweeter," "than," and "smile" correspond to "mst," "sco," and "tmp" (in some order).
Step-by-Step Analysis:
· The word "flower" appears in both the first and second statements, and the common code is "tingo." Therefore, "tingo" stands for "flower."
· The word "than" appears in both the first and third statements, and the common code is "sco." Therefore, "sco" stands for "than."
This leaves "nitco" as the code for "softer."
Therefore, the correct answer is: (d) nitco.
