Question

Select the combination of numbers so that letters arranged accordingly will form a meaningful word. \[ \text{T \quad R \quad I \quad F \quad U} \] \[ \text{1 \quad 2 \quad 3 \quad 4 \quad 5} \]

• A. \(3\ 1\ 2\ 4\ 5\)
• B. \(4\ 2\ 5\ 3\ 1\)
• C. \(4\ 3\ 2\ 1\ 5\)
• D. \(5\ 3\ 2\ 1\ 4\)

Hint:

In word-formation questions, first identify the meaningful word, then map each letter back to its original position to get the correct sequence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Write the given letters with their positions. \[ \begin{aligned} 1 &\rightarrow T
2 &\rightarrow R
3 &\rightarrow I
4 &\rightarrow F
5 &\rightarrow U \end{aligned} \] Step 2: Rearrange the letters to form a meaningful word. The meaningful English word that can be formed is: \[ FRUIT \] Step 3: Identify the positions of letters in “FRUIT”. \[ F \rightarrow 4,\quad R \rightarrow 2,\quad U \rightarrow 5,\quad I \rightarrow 3,\quad T \rightarrow 1 \] Step 4: Write the correct sequence. \[ 4\ 2\ 5\ 3\ 1 \] Step 5: Final conclusion. The correct combination is \(\boxed{4\ 2\ 5\ 3\ 1}\).
