Question

Which is the second letter in the meaningful word formed by the letters against numbers 6, 12, 14, and 20? \bigskip

• A. T
• B. D
• C. N
• D. I
  \bigskip
• E.

Hint:

Fix the “anchors” first (multiples of 4 here), then place remaining letters using distance constraints; finally build any required word.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Multiples of 4 get the letters of SACRED in alphabetical order: $4\!\to\!A,\ 8\!\to\!C,\ 12\!\to\!D,\ 16\!\to\!E,\ 20\!\to\!R,\ 24\!\to\!S$. From the clues: $N$ is at 18; $P$ adjacent to $D$ but not at 14 $\Rightarrow P$ at 10; $U$ and $T$ six places apart with $U$ above $\Rightarrow U$ at 2, $T$ at 14; and $I$ at 6. Thus numbers $6,12,14,20$ carry letters $I,D,T,R$ which can form the word DIRT. The second letter is \(\boxed{I}\). \bigskip
