MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1
If two Latin squares each of the same order are such that when one is superimposed over the other, each symbol of one falls on each symbol of the other once and only once, then the two Latin squares are said to be
  • Orthogonal Latin Squares (Graeco-Latin Squares):
  • Latin square of order $n$ is an $n \times n$ square array containing $n$ distinct symbols such that each symbol appears exactly once in each row and once in each column.
  • Orthogonality: Two Latin squares of the same order $n$ are said to be orthogonal if, when one square is superimposed over the other, every ordered pair of symbols $(A_i, B_j)$ occurs exactly once across all $n^2$ cells.
  • pair of orthogonal Latin squares forms a Graeco-Latin square, which allows simultaneous elimination of two extraneous sources of variation in experimental design.
  • Other Terms:
  • Conjugate Latin square: Formed by transposing rows, columns, or symbols.
  • Reduced (Standardized) Latin square: One where both the first row and first column are arranged in natural order.
  • Conclusion: The two squares are Orthogonal (Option 3).

Correct option: (3) Orthogonal
