You can achieve it with a code like:

$a = [
    ["Test-LT-100", "LIT-100", "LIT-101", "LIT-102"],
    ["Test-LT-101", "LIT-103"],
    ["Test-LIT-102", "LIT-104", "LIT-105"]
];
$var = "LIT-100"; //The variable value you're searching for

foreach ($a as $key => $array) {
    $res = array_search($var, $array);
    if ($res) {
        $key_1 = $key;
        $key_2 = $res;
        break; //When the searched variable is found, it exits the foreach loop
    }
}

echo $a[$key_1][$key_2]; //Proof of work: must print out the string you searched for; in this case: LIT-100.
