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.

Correct Answer: The correct answer is X.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1: Identify the specified letters from the given word.
The given word is ‘SHOWERING’.
Let us find the letters at the 2nd, 5th, 7th, and 8th positions (from left to right):

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

Step 2: Check for meaningful four-letter words.
We need to check if any valid English four-letter word can be formed using the letters H, E, I, N exactly once.

• Rearrangements of these four letters include: HEIN, HINE, ENIH, INHE, NEHI, etc.
None of these form a standard, valid four-letter English dictionary word.

Step 3: Determine the final answer based on the given rules.
According to the question's instructions:
• If no such meaningful word can be formed, the answer is X.
• If more than one such meaningful word can be formed, the answer is Y.

Since no meaningful word can be formed using the letters H, E, I, and N, the answer is X.
