SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

RAEESCT

Compare ECRTTAX with EXTRACT letter position by letter position to find the rearrangement rule: the 1st letter of EXTRACT (E) is the 1st letter of ECRTTAX, the 2nd (X) is the 7th, the 3rd (T) is the 4th, the 4th (R) is the 3rd, the 5th (A) is the 6th, the 6th (C) is the 2nd, and the 7th (T) is the 5th.

So the rearrangement rule takes letters from positions 1, 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5 of the source word, in that order.

Applying the same position order (1, 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5) to RCEETSA: position 1 is R, position 7 is A, position 4 is E, position 3 is E, position 6 is S, position 2 is C, position 5 is T.

Reading these in order gives R, A, E, E, S, C, T, which spells RAEESCT.

Hence, the answer is RAEESCT.
