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 Matrix-I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of 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, for example. ‘Q’ can be represented by 42, 77, etc., and ‘R’ can be represented by 04, 89, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word “RITE” .

Decoding Words Using Matrix Coding
This question asks us to find the set of numbers that represents the word "RITE" using the provided two matrices. Each letter is coded by first its row number and then its column number from the matrices.
Understanding the Matrix Coding Rules
The problem provides two matrices, Matrix-I and Matrix-II. Here's how they work:
- Matrix-I: Rows and columns are numbered from 0 to 4.
- Matrix-II: Rows and columns are numbered from 5 to 9.
- A letter's code is formed by its row number followed by its column number.
- For example, 'Q' can be represented by 42 (Matrix-I, Row 4, Column 2) or 77 (Matrix-II, Row 7, Column 7).
We need to find the code for the word "RITE". Let's break it down letter by letter.
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | D | G | W | I | R |
| 1 | Y | M | B | T | S |
| 2 | L | P | Z | Y | D |
| 3 | F | E | J | T | N |
| 4 | U | I | Q | V | X |
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | B | E | T | A | N |
| 6 | K | M | I | C | S |
| 7 | U | E | Q | V | X |
| 8 | D | G | W | L | R |
| 9 | K | B | J | C | S |
Finding Codes for RITE
Let's find all possible codes for each letter in "RITE":
- R:
- Matrix-I: Row 0, Column 4 gives R → 04
- Matrix-II: Row 8, Column 9 gives R → 89
- I:
- Matrix-I: Row 0, Column 3 gives I → 03
- Matrix-I: Row 1, Column 2 gives I → 12 (Mistake, 12 is B) - Recheck Matrix-I: Row 1, Column 2 is B. Row 4, Column 1 gives I → 41. Let's correct this.
- Matrix-I: Row 0, Column 3 gives I → 03
- Matrix-I: Row 4, Column 1 gives I → 41
- Matrix-II: Row 6, Column 7 gives I → 67
- Matrix-II: Row 9, Column 7 gives J → 97 (Mistake, 97 is J) - Recheck Matrix-II: Row 9, Column 7 is J. Let's correct this.
- Matrix-I: Row 0, Column 3 gives I → 03
- Matrix-I: Row 4, Column 1 gives I → 41
- Matrix-II: Row 6, Column 7 gives I → 67
- T:
- Matrix-I: Row 1, Column 3 gives T → 13
- Matrix-I: Row 3, Column 3 gives T → 33
- Matrix-II: Row 5, Column 7 gives T → 57
- E:
- Matrix-I: Row 3, Column 1 gives E → 31
- Matrix-II: Row 5, Column 6 gives E → 56 (Mistake, 56 is E) - Recheck Matrix-II: Row 5, Column 6 is E → 56. Row 7, Column 6 gives E → 76. Let's correct this.
- Matrix-I: Row 3, Column 1 gives E → 31
- Matrix-II: Row 5, Column 6 gives E → 56
- Matrix-II: Row 7, Column 6 gives E → 76
Checking the Options for RITE
Now, let's examine each option to see if the sequence of codes matches the possible codes for R, I, T, and E in order.
- Option 1: 04, 03, 33, 31
- 04: Is this a code for R? Yes (Matrix-I, 0,4).
- 03: Is this a code for I? Yes (Matrix-I, 0,3).
- 33: Is this a code for T? Yes (Matrix-I, 3,3).
- 31: Is this a code for E? Yes (Matrix-I, 3,1).
- Option 2: 89, 41, 02, 04
- 89: Is this a code for R? Yes (Matrix-II, 8,9).
- 41: Is this a code for I? Yes (Matrix-I, 4,1).
- 02: Is this a code for T? No, 02 represents 'W' (Matrix-I, 0,2).
- Option 3: 67, 03, 86, 56
- 67: Is this a code for R? No, 67 represents 'I' (Matrix-II, 6,7).
- Option 4: 89, 67, 68, 76
- 89: Is this a code for R? Yes (Matrix-II, 8,9).
- 67: Is this a code for I? Yes (Matrix-II, 6,7).
- 68: Is this a code for T? No, 68 represents 'S' (Matrix-II, 6,8).
Based on the analysis, only Option 1 contains a sequence of codes that correctly represents the word "RITE" according to the rules and the given matrices.
Revision Table: Word RITE Decoding
| Letter | Possible Codes (Row, Col) | Valid Codes from Matrices |
|---|---|---|
| R | (0,4), (8,9) | 04, 89 |
| I | (0,3), (4,1), (6,7) | 03, 41, 67 |
| T | (1,3), (3,3), (5,7) | 13, 33, 57 |
| E | (3,1), (5,6), (7,6) | 31, 56, 76 |
Additional Information on Matrix Coding Questions
Matrix coding is a common type of question in reasoning sections of competitive exams. Here are some tips for solving them efficiently:
- Always note the row and column numbering for each matrix carefully (e.g., 0-4, 5-9, or 1-5, 6-10).
- Confirm the order in which the code is formed (usually row then column, but always double-check the example).
- For a word, find all possible codes for each individual letter first.
- Then, check the given options one by one to see which sequence of codes matches the possible codes for the letters in the correct order.
- Eliminate options as soon as you find a code that doesn't match the required letter at that position in the word.
- Pay close attention to the matrices; misreading a letter at a specific coordinate is a common error.
