Step-by-step solution
What is the code for "sweet candy"?
Statement I:& 'candy chocolate sweet' is coded as hi ni mi and 'sweet bite candy' is coded as ti mi ni.
Statement II:& 'drink water candy' is coded as fi mi gi and 'chocolate sweet water' is coded as ti ni gi.
Checking statement I:

sweet candy can be coded as mi ni.
Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Checking statement II:
Following position can be drawn with the hints given in statement
II.
Statement I:& 'candy chocolate sweet' is coded as hi ni mi and 'sweet bite candy' is coded as ti mi ni.
Statement II:& 'drink water candy' is coded as fi mi gi and 'chocolate sweet water' is coded as ti ni gi.
Checking statement I:
As per the given hints, following positions can be drawn.
sweet candy can be coded as mi ni.
Hence data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Checking statement II:
Following position can be drawn with the hints given in statement
II.
Neither the code for candy nor for sweet can be deterined using statement II.
Hence data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence option A is correct.
