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 those 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., O can be represented by 01,33, etc, and Q can be represented by 55, 78, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word METAL.

Correct Answer: 32, 76, 95, 44, 04
Solution :
Given:
METAL
Number representations of each letter –
M→00, 14, 23, 32, 41
E→58, 67, 76, 85, 99
T→59, 68, 77, 86, 95
A→03, 12, 21, 30, 44
L→04, 13, 22, 31, 40
Let's check the options –
First option:
23, 76, 95, 40, 44 – A and L can not be represented by 40 and 44 respectively.
Second option:
32, 76, 95, 44, 04 – All the letters of the word METAL can be represented through this option.
Third option
:
32, 76, 44, 95, 04 – T and A can not be represented by 44 and 95 respectively.
Fourth option
:
23, 67, 96, 40, 44 – T, A, and L can not be represented by 96, 40, and 44 respectively.
So, only the second option consists of the numbers through which METAL can be represented. Hence, the second option is correct.
