If none of the four combinations represents the group of digits correctly, give (e) i.e. ‘None of these’ as the answer.

Condition for coding the group elements:
(i). If the first number is even and last letter is vowel, then the codes for the first and the last digits are to be interchanged.
(ii). If the first as well as the last letter is consonant, then both are to be coded by the code for the fourth letter.
