% row contains number which are consecutive
multiple of 11, starting from 11 (from left to right).
# row contains number which are consecutive
multiple of 13, starting from 13 (from left to right).

either a single string of number X-or two-line string X
and Y.
There are 4 lights P, Q, R and S. Based on the
Outcome of the strings mentioned above one of the
light blinds.
Conditions for blinks:

2. If outcome range is 85-110, then Q blinks
3. If outcome range is 111-210, then R blinks
4. If outcome is greater than 210, then S blinks
For outcome of the string:
1. If the string has all even numbers, then 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 places of all the two-digit numbers
 are deleted and, tenth place are multiple to get
the outcome
3. If the string contains 2 prime number, then the
tenth’s place is deleted from each of the two-digit
number and remaining number are multiplied.
4. If no above logic is followed, then simple outcome
is addition of the numbers.
