Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below:<br /> If we arrange the alphabets in the word "RATE" in the English alphabetical order, word "AERT" is formed. Then the third alphabet from the left in this word is "R". similarly, from the word "OPEN" we get - "ENOP" and the third alphabet from the left is "O". From the word "CHEF" we get - "CEFH" the third alphabet from the left "F". From the word "TOY" we get - "OTY" and the third alphabet from the left is "Y". From the word "EAT" we get - "AET" and the third alphabet from the left is "T" If we use all these letters, then a meaningful English word "FORTY" can be formed. Now find which of the following word set DOES NOT give a meaningful word in a similar way.
Step-by-step Solution:
The problem asks us to follow a specific two-step rule to derive a single letter from each word in a set. We must then check if the collected letters can form a meaningful English word. The goal is to find the set of words that does NOT produce letters for a meaningful word.
A. SAME, ROOM, BEST, AUTO
The derived letters are {M, O, S, T}, which can form the word MOST.
B. GOAT, PEST, WATT, ARMY
The derived letters are {O, S, T, R}, which can form the word SORT or ROST.
C. MALE, FIND, LOST, THAT
The derived letters are {L, I, S, T}, which can form the word LIST or SILT.
D. JUMP, LIME, DUMB, SOME
The derived letters are {P, L, M, O}. These letters cannot be arranged to form a meaningful English word.
The set of words in option D is the only one that does not produce letters that can form a meaningful word.
