usage of "what is what" and " which is which"
Hello.
Regarding the usage of "what is what" and " which is which",
suppose there is a list column A ( name) and column B (number),and when I have to link them to each other, but not sure which is which.
So I would like to ask the person who created the the list and knows what is for what by using following questions.
1. Could you tell me " what names are what numbers" ? OK / NG
2. Could you tell me " what name is what number"? OK / NG
3. Could you tell me " which names are which numbers"? OK / NG
4. Could you tel me " which name is which number"? OK / NG
Would someone help me which sentences are correct to use? I would be glad if you can answer individually if it is okay or not okay.
I 'm not sure if I can bring a "noun" after what and which.
Thank you in advance

Hi, You could say all of those things. I'd probably say eg Which name goes with which number, please? Clive

Clive,
Thank you so much for your answer.
I didn't know everything can be possible, but I would use your suggestion when I have to use.
