In the following question, five different words are given in the options. Along with each word, positions of four letters in that word are given, counted from the left end of the word. A four-letter meaningful word can be formed from the letters corresponding to the positions given in each option without jumbling the letters. Which of the following options will give a meaningful English word?
- Claustrophobia - 2, 7, 12, 14
- Photosynthesis - 2, 7, 8, 12
- Incomprehensive - 3, 4, 10, 12
- Notwithstanding - 4, 5, 11, 12
Correct answer: Notwithstanding - 4, 5, 11, 12
Solution
From 'Notwithstanding', the letters at positions 4, 5, 11, and 12 are 't', 'w', 'i', and 't', which form the meaningful word 'twit' without jumbling. The other options do not produce a valid English word from the selected letters.
