Q154
ReasoningAlphabet, Letter Series & Word Formation
Which word is not formed from the word 'RABBIT' to form a meaningful word?
  1. a.RAT
  2. b.BAT
  3. c.BAG
  4. d.BIT

Answer: (C) BAG

RABBIT has the letters R, A, B, B, I, T. RAT (R, A, T), BAT (B, A, T) and BIT (B, I, T) can all be made from these, but BAG needs the letter G, which is not in RABBIT. Method: tick off each letter of the option against the key word, remembering that a letter can be used only as many times as it occurs (here only B occurs twice). Other words that can be formed from RABBIT include BAR, RIB, TAB, BRAT and RABBI.
