From the given options which word can’t be formed by using the letters of the word :
“CATERING”
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → RETIRING
A word can be formed only if it uses no letter more times than the given word has it. CATERING has eight different letters, C, A, T, E, R, I, N and G, each once.
Option (1) CREATING — uses C, R, E, A, T, I, N, G once each: the same eight letters.
Option (2) REACTING — uses R, E, A, C, T, I, N, G once each: the same eight letters.
Option (3) RETIRING — needs two R’s and two I’s, but CATERING has only one of each, so it cannot be formed.
Option (4) ARGENTIC — uses A, R, G, E, N, T, I, C once each: the same eight letters.
Tip: When an option has as many letters as the given word, it can be formed only if it is a rearrangement of it. Look first for a letter that repeats in the option.
