Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

LIP

Solution :

The correct option is LIP.


Let's break down the solution step-by-step:


Step 1: Calculate the alphabetical value (sum of positions of letters) for each given word.

Using standard positional values of English alphabets (A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26):

CAT=3+1+20=24

HEN=8+5+14=27

BAG=2+1+7=10

LIP=12+9+16=37

RUN=18+21+14=53


Step 2: Identify and remove the word with the highest alphabetical value.

The word with the highest sum is RUN (value = 53).

After removing RUN, the remaining words are: CAT, HEN, BAG, LIP.


Step 3: Check which remaining word's first letter comes alphabetically after 'H'.

CAT: First letter is C (Position 3) - Before H

HEN: First letter is H (Position 8) - Equal to H

BAG: First letter is B (Position 2) - Before H

LIP: First letter is L (Position 12) - After H


Thus, the word that satisfies this condition is LIP.
