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 shown in the given two matrices. 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, for example, 'E' can be represented by 02, 11, etc. and 'G' can be represented by 65, 56 etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word 'EAGER'.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's check the coordinates for each letter of the word EAGER (row number followed by column number):
E: Can be 02,11,20

A: Can be 10,14,23,32,41,75

G: Can be 31,40,56,65,88

E: Can be 02,11,20

R: Can be 58,67,76,85

Let's cross-verify with the given options:

Option A: 02 (E), 10 (A), 65 (G), 11 (E), 68 (K → Wrong)

Option B: 02 (E), 10 (A), 65 (G), 87 (W → Wrong)

Option C: 02 (E), 10 (A), 65 (G), 11 (E), 85 (R → All Correct)

Option D: 02 (E), 10 (A), 65 (G), 59 (C → Wrong)

Thus, option C perfectly matches EAGER.
