Question

Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below:
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.
1. SAME, ROOM, BEST, AUTO
2. GOAT, PEST, WATT, ARMY
3. MALE, FIND, LOST, THAT
4. JUMP, LIME, DUMB, SOME

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : JUMP, LIME, DUMB, SOME

The logic is :

1. Arrangement of words as per the English alphabetical order and the third alphabet from the left after the arrangement is shown below - 

SAME, ROOM, BEST, AUTO → AEMS, MOOR, BEST, AOTU

Meaningful English word can be formed - MOST

2. GOAT, PEST, WATT, ARMY → AGOT, EPST, ATTW, AMRY

Meaningful English word can be formed - SORT

3.MALE, FIND, LOST, THAT → AELM, DFIN, LOST, AHTT

Meaningful English word can be formed - LIST

Similarly,

4. JUMP, LIME, DUMB, SOME → JMPU, EILM, BDMU, EMOS

Meaningful English word can not be formed - PLMO

Hence, 'JUMP, LIME, DUMB, SOME' is the correct answer.
