Question

A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternative. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix-II are numbered for 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, for example ‘K’ can be represented by 14, 03 etc. and ‘Z’ can be represented by 58. 69 etc. similarly, you have to identify the set for the word ‘KIJL’.

The correct answer is

03, 12, 11, 32

Each letter is coded as row followed by column. List the valid codes from the matrices:

K: (0,3), (1,4) → 03, 14
I: (0,0), (1,2), (1,3), (2,3), (3,1) → 00, 12, 13, 23, 31
J: (0,4), (1,1) → 04, 11
L: (0,2), (3,2) → 02, 32

Testing option 3 — 03, 12, 11, 32: 03 = K, 12 = I, 11 = J, 32 = L. All four codes match in order, so the word KIJL is represented by 03, 12, 11, 32.

Option 1 starts with 11 = J; option 2 starts with 43 = B; option 4 starts with 11 = J — none can begin KIJL.

  2. 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 alphabets as shown in the given two matrices. The columns and rows of Matri×-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matri×-II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and ne×t by its column, for e×ample ‘C’ can be represented by 21, 34 etc and ‘T’ can be represented by 97, 89 etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word ‘MAZE’.
