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 solve this problem, we first identify the specific letters from the given word ‘SHOWERING’ based on their positions:

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

The letters extracted from the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 8th positions are H, E, I, and N respectively.

Now, we attempt to form meaningful four-letter English words using the letters {H, E, I, N}, with each letter being used exactly once:

By analyzing the possible arrangements (such as HEIN, HINE, NIEH, INHE, etc.), we find that no standard, meaningful English word can be formed from these four letters.

According to the given instructions:
- If no such meaningful word is formed, the answer is X.
- If more than one such word is formed, the answer is Y.

Since no meaningful word can be formed, the correct answer is X.
