Conditions:

If a grid:

1. Does not contain vowels:

i. If the number attached is an even number then interchange the position of first
and third letters and subtract 5 from the number.

ii. If the number attached is an odd number then interchange the position of second
and third letters and add 3 to the number.

2. Does not contain consonants:

i. If the number attached is a multiple of 4 then change the letters to their reverse
letters as per alphabet series and add 2 to both the digits of the number.

ii. If the number attached is not a multiple of 4 then change the letters to the
reverse letter of their immediately succeeding letter as per alphabet series.

3. Contains both vowels and consonants:

i. If the number attached is composite then change the vowel to its immediate next
consonant and consonant to its just previous vowel.

ii. If the number attached is prime then change the vowels to their immediately
preceding letters and consonants to their immediately succeeding letters and add 10
to the number.

As per the given illustration and conditions find the values of Box 2 for the following.

Conditions:

If a grid:-

1. Does not contain vowels:

i. If the number attached is an even number then interchange the position of first
and third letters and subtract 5 from the number.

ii. If the number attached is an odd number then interchange the position of second
and third letters and add 3 to the number.

2. Does not contain consonants:

i. If the number attached is a multiple of 4 then change the letters to their reverse
letters as per alphabet series and add 2 to both the digits of the number.

ii. If the number attached is not a multiple of 4 then change the letters to the
reverse letter of their immediately succeeding letter as per alphabet series.

3. Contains both vowels and consonants:

i. If the number attached is composite then change the vowel to its immediate next
consonant and consonant to its just previous vowel.
ii. If the number attached is prime then change the vowels to their immediately
preceeding letters and consonants to their immediately succeeding letters and add
10 to the number.

As per the given illustration and conditions find the values of Box 2 for the following.

Box 1 Box 2

DRY21 SON13 MAC44 DYR24 TNO23 IBA44

AEO36 ZAP62 OIO37 → ZVL58 UBO62 PQP37

LIP43 GRV50 KMW76 MHQ53 VRG45 WMK71

Inference:

Logic for numbering of grid used here, The top left grid is termed as first and the
numbering progresses from left to right. Thus the first left grid of second row is
termed as fourth and so on.

Following table shows the consitions that are applicable to the various grids as per
which the values of Box 2 are obtained.

Conditions
Grid no.

Final Coding:

Box 1 Box 2

DRY21 SON13 MAC44 DYR24 TNO23 IBA44

AEO36 ZAP62 OIO37 → ZVL58 UBO62 PQP37

LIP43 GRV50 KMW76 MHQ53 VRG45 WMK71

Explanation:

1. The codes for ZAP62 and DRY21 are UBO62 and DYR24 respectively.

Hence option B is correct.

2. LIP43 is written as MHQ53 in Box 2.

Hence option C is correct.

3. If TOY 35 was one of the values on Box 1 then it would be coded as "OPU35".

Hence option A is correct.

4. ZVL58 in Box 2 represents AEO36 of the Box1.

Hence option D is correct.

5. SON13 is related to TNO23 in a way, GRV50 is related to VRG45 in the same
way then DRY21 is related to DYR24 in the same way.

Hence option B is correct.
