Question : Directions: 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. P can be represented by 55,69, etc, and L can be represented by 59, 68, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word, LAPSE.
Option 1: 86, 02, 55, 14, 97
Option 2: 86, 57, 00, 41, 97
Option 3: 31, 02, 00, 96, 42
Option 4: 31, 57, 55, 41, 42
Correct Answer: 86, 02, 55, 14, 97
Solution :
Given:
LAPSE
Number representations of each letter –
L→59, 68, 77, 86, 95
A→02, 11, 20, 34, 43
P→55, 69, 78, 87, 96
S→00, 14, 23, 32, 41
E→56, 65, 79, 88, 97
Let's check the options –
First option:
86, 02, 55, 14, 97 – All the letters of the word LAPSE can be represented through this option.
Second option:
86, 57, 00, 41, 97 – A and P can not be represented as 57 and 00 respectively.
Third option
:
31, 02, 00, 96, 42 – L, P, S, and E can not be represented as 31, 00, 96, and 42 respectively.
Fourth option
:
31, 57, 55, 41, 42 – L, A, and E can not be represented as 31, 57, and 42 respectively.
So, only the first option consists of the numbers through which LAPSE can be represented. Hence, the first option is correct.
