If we form a four-letter meaningful word by using 2nd, 5th, 7th and 8th letter (each letter is used only once) of the word ‘SHOWERING’ , then what will be the second letter of that meaningful word? If no such meaningful word is formed, the answer will be X and if more than one such meaningful word will be formed, the answer will be Y.

To find the correct answer, let us analyze the word 'SHOWERING' step-by-step.

Step 1: Identify the positions of the letters in the word 'SHOWERING'
Let us write down the letter corresponding to each position in the word:
1st letter: S
2nd letter: H
3rd letter: O
4th letter: W
5th letter: E
6th letter: R
7th letter: I
8th letter: N
9th letter: G

Step 2: Extract the specified letters
According to the question, we need to select the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 8th letters:
2nd letter = H
5th letter = E
7th letter = I
8th letter = N

The extracted letters are H, E, I, and N.

Step 3: Form meaningful English words using the selected letters
We need to form a four-letter meaningful English word using the letters H, E, I, and N exactly once.
Let us test the possible permutations of these letters (such as HINE, HEIN, INHE, NEHI, etc.). None of these arrangements form a standard, grammatically valid English word.

Since no meaningful English word can be formed, we apply the condition specified in the question:
"If no such meaningful word is formed, the answer will be X."

Thus, the correct answer is X.
