Question

A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives.

The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of letters as in the two matrices given below. The columns and rows of Matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that Matrix II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented, first by its row and next by its column, e.g., 'A' can be represented as 01, 14, etc. and E can be represented by 55, 66 etc.
Find the code for the word "SPIDERMAN".

Understanding Matrix Coding Problems

Matrix coding is a type of coding-decoding question where letters are represented by numbers based on their position in matrices. The code for a letter is typically given by its row number followed by its column number.

Matrices Provided for SPIDERMAN Coding

We are given two matrices, Matrix I and Matrix II, with letters arranged in rows and columns:

Matrix - I 0 1 2 3 4
0 Y A D R I
1 D S I Y A
2 I Y S D S
3 A D R I Y
4 S I Y A D

Matrix - II 5 6 7 8 9
5 E M L N P
6 L E P M N
7 P N E L M
8 N P M E L
9 M L N P E

Matrix I has rows and columns numbered from 0 to 4. Matrix II has rows and columns numbered from 5 to 9. A letter's code is represented by its row number first, followed by its column number.

Coding the Word SPIDERMAN

We need to find the code for the word SPIDERMAN. Let's look at the code provided in Option 4 and check if it correctly represents the word:

The code sequence is: 11, 59, 04, 02, 55, 03, 56, 01, 58

Let's verify each letter:

  • For the first letter S: Look for 'S' in Matrix I (since codes are <50). 'S' is at (1,1), (2,2), (2,4), (4,0). The code 11 corresponds to 'S' at row 1, column 1 in Matrix I. This matches.
  • For the second letter P: Look for 'P' in Matrix II (since codes are >=50). 'P' is at (5,9), (6,7), (7,5), (8,6), (9,9). The code 59 corresponds to 'P' at row 5, column 9 in Matrix II. This matches.
  • For the third letter I: Look for 'I' in Matrix I. 'I' is at (0,4), (1,2), (2,0), (3,3). The code 04 corresponds to 'I' at row 0, column 4 in Matrix I. This matches.
  • For the fourth letter D: Look for 'D' in Matrix I. 'D' is at (0,2), (1,0), (2,3), (3,1), (4,4). The code 02 corresponds to 'D' at row 0, column 2 in Matrix I. This matches.
  • For the fifth letter E: Look for 'E' in Matrix II. 'E' is at (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8), (9,5). The code 55 corresponds to 'E' at row 5, column 5 in Matrix II. This matches.
  • For the sixth letter R: Look for 'R' in Matrix I. 'R' is at (0,3), (3,2), (4,1). The code 03 corresponds to 'R' at row 0, column 3 in Matrix I. This matches.
  • For the seventh letter M: Look for 'M' in Matrix II. 'M' is at (5,6), (6,8), (7,9), (8,7), (9,8). The code 56 corresponds to 'M' at row 5, column 6 in Matrix II. This matches.
  • For the eighth letter A: Look for 'A' in Matrix I. 'A' is at (0,1), (1,4), (3,0), (4,3). The code 01 corresponds to 'A' at row 0, column 1 in Matrix I. This matches.
  • For the ninth letter N: Look for 'N' in Matrix II. 'N' is at (5,8), (6,9), (7,6), (8,5), (9,7). The code 58 corresponds to 'N' at row 5, column 8 in Matrix II. This matches.

Conclusion

Since all the number pairs in the sequence 11, 59, 04, 02, 55, 03, 56, 01, 58 correctly represent the letters in SPIDERMAN based on their positions in the given matrices, this sequence is the correct code for the word.

Important Questions from Conditional Matrix

  1. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

    (30, 14, 8)

    (84, 12, 36)

  2. Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.

    (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed)

    (24, 8, 96)

    (36, 4, 72)

  3. What is the value of input if only signal AA and BB is taken into account?

  4. What is the correct option if only signal CC is taken into account?

  5. What is the correct option if both signals AA and DD is taken as input?
