Question

Two different words are given below with brackets in between. Choose the correct option that forms two meaningful words by inserting a set of letters into the brackets.
PLAT ( ) ATION

• A. TENT
• B. FORM
• C. TERR
• D. EAU

Hint:

Test each option by joining the inserted string with both prefixes and suffixes. Both resulting words must be meaningful.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Insert "FORM" between the brackets:
Word 1: PLAT + FORM = PLATFORM
Word 2: FORM + ATION = FORMATION
Step 2: Verify other options:
TENT → PLATTENT / TENTATION (invalid)
TERR → PLATERR / TERRATION (invalid)
EAU → PLATEAU (valid) but "EAUATION" is invalid
Only FORM works for both valid words.
