Identifying Incorrectly Spelt Words
The question asks us to select the word among the given options that is spelt incorrectly. To do this, we need to examine each word and check its standard English spelling.
Let's look at each word provided:
- Hallucinate: This word means to experience something that is not present, like seeing or hearing things that aren't real. The spelling "Hallucinate" is the correct spelling.
- Hiatus: This word refers to a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process. The spelling "Hiatus" is the correct spelling.
- Sacrilage: This word is intended to mean the violation or misuse of what is regarded as sacred. However, the spelling "Sacrilage" is incorrect. The correct spelling is Sacrilege.
- Launderette: This word refers to a place equipped with washing machines and dryers for public use. The spelling "Launderette" is the correct spelling (common in British English; "Laundromat" is common in American English, but Launderette is a valid spelling).
Based on the examination, the word "Sacrilage" is the one that is spelt incorrectly. The correct spelling should be "Sacrilege".
Therefore, the incorrectly spelt word is "Sacrilage".
| Word as Given | Correct Spelling | Is it Correctly Spelt? |
|---|---|---|
| Hallucinate | Hallucinate | Yes |
| Hiatus | Hiatus | Yes |
| Sacrilage | Sacrilege | No |
| Launderette | Launderette | Yes |

Additional Information: Importance of Correct Spelling
Correct spelling is crucial for clear communication. Misspellings can change the meaning of a word or make your writing difficult to understand. In formal writing, such as academic papers, professional emails, or job applications, spelling errors can negatively impact your credibility.
Tips for improving spelling:
- Read widely to see words used correctly in context.
- Use a dictionary or spell checker, but be aware that spell checkers don't catch all errors (e.g., using "their" instead of "there").
- Practice writing and consciously review your work for spelling mistakes.
- Learn common spelling rules and patterns.
- Create a personal list of words you frequently misspell.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
