Question

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.

SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

42, 57, 75, 11

Each letter is coded as its row number followed by its column number, taken from whichever matrix actually contains that letter (Matrix-I uses 0 to 4, Matrix-II uses 5 to 9).

The word to encode is DUNG, so we locate D, U, N and G in turn.

D appears in Matrix-I at row 4, column 2, giving the code 42.

U appears in Matrix-II at row 5, column 7, giving 57.

N appears in Matrix-II at row 7, column 5, giving 75.

G appears in Matrix-I at row 1, column 1, giving 11.

Reading the codes for D, U, N, G in order produces 42, 57, 75, 11.

Hence the correct code set is 42, 57, 75, 11.

  1. Find the missing number from the below options.

    \(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6&{24}&{96}\\ 7&{28}&{112}\\ {13}&{52}&? \end{array}\)

  2. 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’.

  3. 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’.
