Question

In the 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 alphabets as in two matrices given below. 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 coloumn,e.g., A can be represented by 02,14,40, etc., and P can be represented by 56,75,87 etc. You have to identify the set for the word 'TAKE'.

The correct answer is
23, 21, 85, 95

This question tests your ability to decode a word using two matrices. Let's break down how to find the code for 'TAKE' step-by-step:

Step 1: Locate the letters in the matrices.

  • T: Found in Matrix I (row 0, column 4; row 1, column 1; row 2, column 3; row 3, row 0; row 4, column 2) and in Matrix II (No T in Matrix II)
  • A: Found in Matrix I (row 0, column 2; row 1, column 4; row 2, column 1; row 3, column 3; row 4, column 0) and in Matrix II (row 5, column 3; row 6, column 0; row 7, column 2; row 8, column 4; row 9, column 1)
  • K: Found in Matrix I (No K in Matrix I) and in Matrix II (row 5, column 4; row 6, column 1; row 7, column 3; row 8, column 0; row 9, column 2)
  • E: Found in Matrix I (No E in Matrix I) and in Matrix II (row 5, column 2; row 6, column 4; row 7, column 1; row 8, column 3; row 9, column 0)

Step 2: Check the options.

Now let's see which option correctly represents 'TAKE' using the row-column representation from the matrices.

  • Option 1 (23, 21, 85, 95): This translates to T(2,3), A(2,1), K(8,5), E(9,5). This matches the locations of the letters in the matrices.
  • Option 2 (30, 33, 87, 88): Incorrect letter combination and order
  • Option 3 (04, 33, 66, 99): Incorrect letter combination and order
  • Option 4 (11, 21, 85, 86): Incorrect letter combination and order

Step 3: Conclusion.

Therefore, the correct code for 'TAKE' is 23, 21, 85, 95.
