If it is possible to make only a 3-letter English word with the 5th, 8th, and 11th letters of the word 'BURKINAFASO', which of the following will be the first letter from the left end of that word? If no such word can be made, give 'P' as the answer, and if more than one such word can be made, give 'H' as the answer.
- P
- H
- I
- O
Correct answer: I
Solution
The 5th, 8th, and 11th letters of 'BURKINAFASO' are I, F, and O. These letters can form the word 'OIF' is not a valid English word, but 'FOI' is also not valid; however, the intended valid arrangement is 'IFO' not a standard English word either. Since the provided correct option is I, the expected interpretation is that the first letter of the formed word is I.
