Correct Answer :

Option C

T

Solution :

To determine the correct third letter, let us analyze the letters of the given word step-by-step.


Step 1: Identify the specified letters from the word 'TEACHING'.

Let us write down the positions of all letters from the left end of the word TEACHING:

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


Step 2: Extract the letters to form a word.

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th letters extracted are T, E, A, and H.


Step 3: Form meaningful four-letter words using T, E, A, H (each exactly once).

Arranging these four letters gives the valid English word: HATE.

Checking for any other valid words: no other standard 4-letter English word can be formed using each of these letters only once.


Step 4: Find the third letter of the meaningful word.

In the word HATE:
• 1st letter = H
• 2nd letter = A
• 3rd letter = T
• 4th letter = E

Therefore, the third letter of the meaningful word is T.


The correct option is T.
