From the given alternatives, select the word that CANNOT be formed by using the letters of the given word.

CONSERVATION

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

CAUTION

This is a word-formation question, so check whether every letter of each option is present in the given word.

The letters of CONSERVATION are C, O, O, N, N, S, E, R, V, A, T, I.

VAIN needs V, A, I, N, and all of these appear, so it can be formed.

ACTOR needs A, C, T, O, R, all present, so it can be formed.

STAIN needs S, T, A, I, N, and each is available, so it too can be formed.

CAUTION needs C, A, U, T, I, O, N, but there is no letter U anywhere in CONSERVATION.

Because its U is missing, CAUTION cannot be built, while the other three words can.

Hence the word that cannot be formed is CAUTION.
