IBPS PO Reasoning: Word Formation questions with solutions

Q1. Which of the following is a meaningful word from the jumbled letters? (Note: original jumbled letters not available — question identifies BLOW as the valid word from the given options.)

1. Flair
2. Blow
3. Crown
4. Frown

Answer: Blow

This question's original jumbled letters are missing from the source text. The answer 'Blow' is given, implying the original jumbled set (e.g., W,L,O,B) could only form 'BLOW' among the given options. Flair, Crown, and Frown require different letter combinations.

Q2. Form a 4-letter meaningful word using the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 7th letters from the left of the word 'DETAILED' (using each once only). What is the 3rd letter from the left end of that meaningful word?

1. A
2. T
3. D
4. X

Answer: T

DETAILED: D-E-T-A-I-L-E-D. Letters at positions 1,3,4,7: D,T,A,E. Meaningful word from {D,T,A,E}: DATE ✓. 3rd letter of DATE = T.
