If it is possible to make a meaningful word from 1 st and 3 rd letter letters of the word 'AIR' and 1 st and 4 th letter of the word 'PORT' then which will be the second letter from the left? If more than one word will be formed then marked it as 'X' otherwise marked it as 'Y'.
X
This problem is a classic word formation puzzle, requiring us to extract specific letters from given words and then arrange them to form new, meaningful words. We must then follow a set of rules to determine the final answer based on how many words can be formed.
Word Extraction: Identifying Key Letters
First, let's carefully identify the specific letters we need to work with from the two given words: 'AIR' and 'PORT'.
- From the word 'AIR': The 1st letter is 'A'. The 3rd letter is 'R'.
- From the word 'PORT': The 1st letter is 'P'. The 4th letter is 'T'.
So, the four distinct letters extracted for forming new words are A, R, P, T.
Meaningful Word Formation: Arranging Letters
Now, we need to try and form meaningful English words using all four of these extracted letters (A, R, P, T). Let's explore the possibilities by rearranging these letters:
- TRAP: This is a meaningful word in English. It refers to a device for catching animals or a difficult situation from which it is hard to escape.
- PART: This is also a meaningful word. It can refer to a piece or section of something, or it can be a verb meaning to separate or divide.
- RAPT: This is another meaningful word. It describes being completely engrossed or absorbed in something, typically with great pleasure or wonder.
As we can clearly see, we have successfully formed more than one meaningful word (TRAP, PART, RAPT) using only the given letters (A, R, P, T).
Applying Conditions: Determining the Outcome
The problem provides specific conditions to determine the final answer based on the number of meaningful words formed:
- If more than one meaningful word can be formed from the extracted letters, the answer should be marked as 'X'.
- If only one meaningful word can be formed, the answer should be marked as 'Y'. In this scenario, we would also need to identify the second letter from the left of that single word.
Since our word formation step resulted in multiple meaningful words (TRAP, PART, RAPT), we satisfy the first condition specified in the problem statement.
Final Answer: Concluding the Word Puzzle
Based on our thorough analysis, we were able to form more than one meaningful word from the extracted letters 'A', 'R', 'P', 'T'. Specifically, words such as 'TRAP', 'PART', and 'RAPT' can be constructed. Therefore, according to the rules of the problem, when more than one meaningful word is formed, the final answer must be marked as 'X'.

If in the word "SPIRITUAL", position of second and fifth letter is interchanged, similarly position of fourth and sixth letter is interchanged with seventh and ninth letters respectively, then how many pair of letters in the new word have as many letters between them (either forward or backward) as they have in the English alphabet series?
