Question

Which of the following words CANNOT be created with the letters of the word MEASUREMENT?

• A. Master
• B. Summit
• C. Mean
• D. Easter

Hint:

In word-formation questions, always check both the availability and the frequency of each letter before selecting the answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: List the letters of the word MEASUREMENT.
The word MEASUREMENT consists of the following letters:
M, E, A, S, U, R, E, M, E, N, T
So the frequency of letters is:
M = 2, E = 3, A = 1, S = 1, U = 1, R = 1, N = 1, T = 1
Step 2: Check each option.
(A) Master: M, A, S, T, E, R — all these letters are available in MEASUREMENT. Hence, this word can be formed.
(B) Summit: S, U, M, M, I, T — the letter I is not present in MEASUREMENT. Therefore, this word cannot be formed.
(C) Mean: M, E, A, N — all letters are present in MEASUREMENT. Hence, this word can be formed.
(D) Easter: E, A, S, T, E, R — all required letters are present in MEASUREMENT. Hence, this word can be formed.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Since the word Summit contains the letter I, which is not present in MEASUREMENT, it cannot be formed using its letters.
