Matrix based puzzle
Directions (1-4): Study the following information carefully and answer the below questions.
There is a 3*5 matrix that can produce signals which in turn help in the illumination of some bulbs. The row of the matrix is denoted by @, % and # from the bottom to top respectively and the columns are denoted by A, B, C, D and E from left to right respectively.
@ row contains a number which are consecutive multiples of 13, starting from 39 from left to right. % row contains a number which are consecutive multiples of 15, starting from 30 from left to right. # row contains a number which are consecutive multiples of 17 starting from 34 from right to left.
The matrix helps in producing signals which can be either a single string of number X or two line string X and Y. There are four lights P, Q, R and S. Based on the outcome of the string mentioned above one of the light blinks.
Condition for blink:
a) If the outcome is below 50 then P will blink
b) If the outcome range is 51-200, then Q will blink
c) If the outcome range is 201-270, then R will blink
d) If the outcome is greater than 270 then S will blink
For outcome of the string:
1) If the string has all even numbers then the outcome of the string is obtained by adding all the numbers.
2) If an odd number is followed by an even number then, the one’s place of all the two digit numbers is deleted and 10th place is multiplied to get the outcome.
3) If the string has a prime number, then the 10th place is deleted from each of the two digit numbers and the remaining numbers are multiplied.
4) If no above logic is followed then outcome is an addition of the number.
1) Which of the following bulb will illuminate for the given input
X = @B%A#A@D?
A.P will blink
B.Q will blink
C.R will blink
D.S will blink
E. Cannot be determined
2) Which of the following bulb will illuminate for the given input
X = %B@C#E%A?
A.P will blink

C.R will blink
D.S will blink
E. Cannot be determined
3) Which of the following bulb will illuminate for the given input
X = @B#E%E#A?
A.P will blink
B.Q will blink
C.R will blink
D.S will blink
E. Cannot be determined
4) Which of the following bulb will illuminate for the given input
X = @E#D@A%B?

B.Q will blink
C.R will blink
D.S will blink
E.Cannot be determined

Answers :
Directions (1-5):
From the given data we can create the following table;
1) Answer: C
X = @B%A#A@D
X = 52 30 102 78
Here all the outcome of the string is in even number; So,
X = 52+30+102+78=262
Hence R blinks.
2) Answer: C
X = %B@C#E%A
X = 45 65 34 30
Here in the outcome of the string odd number is followed by an even number; So,
X = 4 x 6 x 3 x 3 = 216
Hence R blinks.
3) Answer: D
X = @B#E%E#A
X = 52 34 90 102
Here all the outcome of the string is in even number; So,
X = 52 + 34 + 90 + 102 = 278
Hence S blinks.
4) Answer: A
X = @E#D@A%B
X = 91 51 39 45
Here in the outcome of the string there is a prime number; So,
X = 1 x 1 x 9 x 5 = 45
Hence P blinks.
Directions (5-6):
We have:
CARD –> [18] [10] [08] [15] …………. (i)
MOUNT –> [12] [23] [36] [09] [[17] ……. (ii)
SAVE –> [24] [18] [19] [13] ………… (iii)
BELOW –> [19] [21] [04][29] [12] …… (iv)
LOUD –> [17] [10] [21] [12] ……… (v)
HEAT –> [16] [23] [18] [19] ……….. (vi)
GROUND –> [12] [08] [07] [17] [09] [10] …………….. (vii)
STOP –> [11] [24] [23] [12] ………………….. (viii)
From (i), (iii) & (vi) we can says that:
A –>18
E –> 19
Again, from (i), (ii), (iv) & (v) we can say that:
O –>12
U –> 17
D –>10
L –>21
Similarly, after comparing all the above words, we have final decoded codes as follows:
A –> 18; E –> 19, O –>12; U –>17; D –>10; L –> 21; R –> 08; C –>15; N –>09; T –>23; M –> 36; S –> 24; V –>13; H –>16; G –>07; P –>11.
B/W –> 04/29 (Not necessarily in the same order)
5) Answer: C
6) Answer: E
Directions (7-10) :
Logic:
In the given input there are twelve elements, in which the first six elements are arranged in one logic, the same logic which is used for second six elements
First six elements are arranged in which words are arranged in ascending order and the numbers are arranged in ascending order with respect to sum of the digits in a number.
For the second six elements, the same logic is applied as in the first six elements.
