Solution :

Correct Answer: Option T


Step-by-Step Explanation:


Step 1: Identify the specified letters from the given word

The given word is TEACHING.

Let us write down the position of each letter from the left end:

1st letter = T
2nd letter = E
3rd letter = A
4th letter = C
5th letter = H
6th letter = I
7th letter = N
8th letter = G


We are instructed to pick the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th letters from the left end:

• 1st letter = T
• 2nd letter = E
• 3rd letter = A
• 5th letter = H

The letters obtained are T, E, A, and H.


Step 2: Form a four-letter meaningful English word

Using the letters T, E, A, H exactly once each, let us check for valid English words:

HEAT is a standard meaningful English word.

• No other standard four-letter word can be formed using these four letters.


Step 3: Determine the required letter

The word formed is HEAT.

The letters of HEAT in order are:

• 1st letter = H
• 2nd letter = E
• 3rd letter = T
• 4th letter = A


The third letter of the meaningful word HEAT is T.


Therefore, the correct answer is option T.
