Perform a direct comparative mapping of common letters in the given words to isolate the value of the unique letter.
Mapping the given codes
MINT is 5372 and MINE is 5379. Both words start with MINE, which maps to 537. Comparing MINT (5372) and MINE (5379), we can see M=5, I=3, N=7.
Extracting the value of T
In MINT (5372), the first three letters M, I, N correspond to 5, 3, 7. Therefore, the last letter T must correspond to the last remaining digit in the code 5372, which is 2.
A is incorrect as 5 is M, B is incorrect as 3 is I, C is incorrect as 7 is N.
D is correct because by comparing MINT (5372) and MINE (5379), we determine M=5, I=3, N=7, which leaves 2 as the code for T.
In direct coding questions, always list the common letters first to identify the values of the unique characters quickly.
