Question

A word is represented by only 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 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 ‘F’ can be represented by 03, 34 etc and ‘A’ can be represented by 31, 43 etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word ‘RATES’.

SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

02, 12, 67, 04, 96

Each letter's code is (row, column). Verify Option 4: 02, 12, 67, 04, 96.

02 — Matrix I row 0, col 2 = R. 12 — Matrix I row 1, col 2 = A. 67 — Matrix II row 6, col 7 = T. 04 — Matrix I row 0, col 4 = E. 96 — Matrix II row 9, col 6 = S.

The sequence spells RATES. Other options fail at the third code: 98 = O, 55 = P, 86 = P, none give T.

  1. Two matrices are provided: Matrix I uses row and column numbers 0 to 4. Matrix II uses row and column numbers 5 to 9. A letter is represented by row number, column number (for example, 23 means row 2, column 3 in Matrix I; 66 means row 6, column 6 in Matrix II). From the matrices, find the row-column codes for each letter in DUNG in sequence, and select the correct option from the given alternatives.

Important Questions from Matrix

  1. A word is represented by only 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 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 ‘F’ can be represented by 12, 43 etc and ‘Z’ can be represented by 87, 98 etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word ‘SOCK’.
