Question : Direction: 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 the 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 column, e.g. 'A' can be represented by 03, 34, 86, etc., and 'N' can be represented by 12, 65, 79, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the given word.
REST
Matrix I
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | |
| 0 | G | V | E | A | C |
| 1 | R | O | N | G | S |
| 2 | M | N | E | S | I |
| 3 | O | T | I | T | A |
| 4 | N | S | N | E | P |
Matrix II
| 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
| 5 | R | E | O | N | G |
| 6 | N | P | V | E | S |
| 7 | M | T | I | O | N |
| 8 | E | A | I | C | O |
| 9 | N | T | A | R | S |
Option 1: 55, 43, 23, 69
Option 2: 98, 56, 31, 77
Option 3: 10, 02, 69, 88
Option 4: 55, 22, 99, 33
Correct Answer: 55, 22, 99, 33
Solution :
Given:
REST
Number representations of each letter:
R → 10, 55, 98
E → 02, 22, 43, 85, 56, 68
S → 41, 23, 14, 69, 99
T → 31, 33, 76, 96
First option:
55, 43, 23, 69
T
cannot be represented as
69
. Hence, it's incorrect.
Second option:
98, 56, 31, 77
S
cannot be represented as
31; T
cannot be represented as
77
. Hence, it's incorrect.
Third option:
10, 02, 69, 88
T
cannot be represented as
88
. Hence, it's incorrect.
Fourth option:
55, 22, 99, 33
All the letters of the word REST can be represented through this option. Hence, it's correct.
Hence, the fourth option is correct.
