Select the combination of numbers so that the jumbled letters arranged accordingly will form a meaningful English word. O H R E M T 1 2 3 4 5 6
5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3
The problem asks us to rearrange a set of jumbled letters using a given sequence of numbers to form a meaningful English word. The letters and their corresponding numbers are provided as follows:
We need to test each option, which provides a sequence of numbers. By picking the letter that corresponds to each number in the sequence, we can form a word and check if it is meaningful.
Let's examine each option given:
Applying this sequence to the letters:
Arranging these letters in the order given by the numbers forms the word: M O T H E R.
MOTHER is a meaningful English word.
Applying this sequence:
Arranging these letters forms the word: T O R M E H. This is not a common meaningful English word.
Applying this sequence:
Arranging these letters forms the word: H E R T O M. This is not a common meaningful English word.
Applying this sequence:
Arranging these letters forms the word: R E T O H M. This is not a common meaningful English word.
Out of the four options, only the sequence 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3 formed a meaningful English word, which is MOTHER.
Let's summarize the results:
| Option | Number Sequence | Formed Word | Meaningful? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3 | MOTHER | Yes |
| 2 | 6, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2 | TORMEH | No |
| 3 | 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 5 | HERTOM | No |
| 4 | 3, 4, 6, 1, 2, 5 | RETOHM | No |
Therefore, the combination of numbers that forms a meaningful English word is 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 3.
Here's a quick review of the concept used in this problem:
| Concept | Description | Application in Problem |
|---|---|---|
| Jumbled Letters | Letters arranged in a random order, needing rearrangement to form a word. | O, H, R, E, M, T were given jumbled. |
| Number Mapping | Assigning a number to each letter's position in the jumbled sequence. | O=1, H=2, R=3, E=4, M=5, T=6. |
| Sequence Combination | A specific order of numbers indicating the new arrangement of letters. | Options provided different number sequences. |
| Meaningful Word | A valid word in the English language. | Checking if the word formed by the sequence exists in English. |
Problems like this one, where you rearrange letters or use number codes to form words, are common in verbal reasoning and puzzles. They test your vocabulary and ability to follow instructions precisely.
Solving jumbled letter puzzles involves decoding the arrangement rule (in this case, the number sequence) and applying it systematically to reveal the hidden word. Always check if the resulting word is genuinely meaningful in the context of the language being used.
Select the option that represents the correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary.
1. Lesage
2. Laudatory
3. Laureate
4. Latitude
5. Legacy
6. Laudanum
7. Launder
Each vowel in the word “ETHICAL” is changed to the following letter in the English alphabetical series and each consonant is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabetical series. In the newly formed word, how many alphabets are there in the English alphabetical series between the alphabet which is 3rd from the left and 1st from the right?
All the alphabets in the word ‘DICTIONARY’ are arranged in the alphabetical order. How many alphabets are there in the English alphabetical series between the alphabet which is fourth from the left end and the one which is second from the right end in the newly formed letter-cluster?
The position of how many letters will remain unchanged if each of the letter in the word ‘FINGER' is arranged in alphabetical order?
The position of how many letters will remain unchanged if each of the letter in the word 'CATEGORY' is arranged in alphabetical order?
