STONE

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

NESTOR

To form the target word STONE from an option, that option must contain every letter of STONE, namely S, T, O, N and E, each at least as many times as needed.

Option 1, PANTHOR, has the letters P, A, N, T, H, O, R; it contains no S and no E, so STONE cannot be formed from it.

Option 3, TONICS, has T, O, N, I, C, S; it has no letter E, so STONE cannot be formed from it.

Option 4, BANTERS, has B, A, N, T, E, R, S; it contains no letter O, so STONE cannot be formed from it.

Option 2, NESTOR, has the letters N, E, S, T, O, R.

Checking each required letter of STONE: S is present, T is present, O is present, N is present and E is present.

So all five letters of STONE are available in NESTOR, and the word STONE can be formed from it.

Hence the correct alternative is NESTOR.
