(b) TRAMP
(c) AMPERE

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (a)
A word can be formed only if each of its letters is in the given word, as many times as it is needed. PERMANENT has P, R, M, A, T once each and E and N twice each.
(a) MENTOR — needs an O, and PERMANENT has no O, so it cannot be formed
(b) TRAMP — T, R, A, M, P are all there
(c) AMPERE — needs E twice, and PERMANENT has two Es
(d) REMANT — R, E, M, A, N, T are all there
