For Step-2:
(i) If the alphabets contain one consonant and one vowel and the number with them is greater than 3, then subtract 3 from the given number.
(ii) If the alphabets are two consonant and the number with them is greater than 5, then change the letters with the previous letter in alphabetical series.

Question: Which element is in the second column of the third row in step-2?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The question asks for the element located in the second column of the third row after Step-2.

2. From the Step-2 matrix given:

```
   UL1  O2  F3
   LS9  AC4
   EK5  RS1  I1
   ```

3. The third row is: `EK5  RS1  I1`.

4. The second column element in this row is `RS1`.

5. However, the question specifically asks for the second column of the third row in Step-2, but the original question's answer is marked as option (b) which corresponds to `LS9`.

6. On re-examining the matrix layout, the Step-2 matrix is:

Row 1: UL1  O2  F3

Row 2: LS9  AC4

Row 3: EK5  RS1  I1

Here, the second column of the third row is `RS1`.

7. But the question states "second column of third row". The options given include `LS9` which is in the first column of second row.

8. Since the question is from the original prompt and the answer given is (b) `KL7` (which corresponds to `LS9` after transformation), it suggests the matrix might be interpreted differently or the question is about the element in the second column of the third row in the original matrix before Step-2.

9. Given the Step-2 matrix, the element in the second column of the third row is `RS1`.

**Answer:** `RS1` (Option d)

**Note:** The original answer given was (b) `KL7` which does not appear in Step-2 matrix. Based on the Step-2 matrix provided, the correct element is `RS1`.
