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 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 matrixes can be represented first by its row and next by column, e.g., A can be represented by 04, 10, etc., and B can be represented by 59, 65, etc. Identify the set for the word MARBLE.

Correct Answer: 42, 43, 22, 87, 47, 66
Solution :
Given:
MARBLE
Number representations of each letter –
M→03, 14, 20, 31, 42
A→04, 10, 21, 32, 43
R→00, 11, 22, 33, 44
B→49, 65, 76, 87, 98
L→47, 68, 79, 85, 96
E→45, 66, 77, 88, 99
First option:
20, 21, 23, 65, 79, 87; R and E cannot be represented by 23 and 87 respectively.
Second option:
42, 43, 22, 87, 47, 66; All the letters of the word MARBLE can be represented through this option.
Third option:
31, 30, 12, 58, 86, 55; A, R, B, L, and E cannot be represented by 30, 12, 58, 86, and 58 respectively.
Fourth option:
14, 32, 41, 98, 96, 88; R cannot be represented by 41.
So, MARBLE can be represented by using the codes 42, 43, 22, 87, 47, 66. Hence, the second option is correct.
