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. A can be represented by 01, 20, etc, and B can be represented by 56, 65, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word, SILK.

Number representations of each letter – S→95, 76, 57, 88, 69 I→55, 86, 67, 98, 79 L→20, 01, 32, 13, 44 K→75, 56, 87, 68, 99
Let's check the options – First option: 76, 67, 33, 68 – L cannot be represented by 33. Second option: 76, 66, 33, 68 – I and L cannot be represented as 66 and 33. Third option: 76, 67, 32, 68 – All the letters of the word SILK can be represented through this option. Fourth option: 76, 67, 32, 65 – K cannot be represented as 65.
So, only the third option consists of the numbers through which SILK can be represented. Hence, the third option is correct.
