Question

Which meaningful word is formed in column III?


There is a matrix contains 4 rows (I, II, III and IV) top to bottom and 4 columns (I, II, III and IV) left to right. Meaningful Word will be formed only when we go left to right in row and top to bottom in column.

Condition:

  • No letters are repeated more than twice.
  • Alphabets are coded as A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4, E-5, F-1, G-2, H-3, I-4, ..., Y-5, Z-1.
  • Place value of column and row are added to get cell value of particular row or column.
  • If a column/row has one letter then the entire column/row should not have that letter. For example, if row 1 and column 1 has ‘M’ letter then that letter should not be repeated in entire row 1 and column 1.

4 letter meaningful word has to be formed in each column:

  • In column I: I, II, IV positions contain letter V, A, T respectively.
  • In column II: III, IV positions contain letter H, O respectively.
  • In column III: II position contain letter R.
  • In column IV: I, III, IV position contain letter N, T, S respectively.
