Matrix and Word Formation — Practice

Question 1

Which word can be formed using all the letters of TRIANGLE?
(a) GARDEN (b) INTEGRAL (c) RELATING (d) TANGENT

Accepted Answer

(b) INTEGRAL.

TRIANGLE = T,R,I,A,N,G,L,E; INTEGRAL uses exactly those eight letters — a perfect anagram. GARDEN needs a D; TANGENT needs two T's and two N's.

Question 2

Which word cannot be formed from the letters of KNOWLEDGE?
(a) LODGE (b) KNEE (c) WINDOW (d) GLOW

Accepted Answer

(c) WINDOW.

WINDOW needs a second W and an I; KNOWLEDGE has only one W and no I.

Question 3

Rearrange the letters P, L, A, E, P to form a meaningful word.
(a) PLEAD (b) APPLE (c) PALER (d) LAPEL

Accepted Answer

(b) APPLE.

A, P, P, L, E spells APPLE — the only option using exactly these five letters (two P's).

Question 4

Using the two matrices (Matrix I: rows/cols 0–4, Matrix II: rows/cols 5–9), which set of coordinates represents the word 'MAT'? M=00/79, A=11/55, T=12/90.
(a) 00, 11, 90 (b) 01, 11, 90 (c) 00, 12, 90 (d) 79, 12, 55

Accepted Answer

(a) 00, 11, 90.

Decoding: 00 = M, 11 = A, 90 = T → MAT. Option (b) starts with O (01), (c) reads M,T,T, and (d) reads M,T,A.

Question 5

Which word cannot be formed from the letters of GOVERNMENT?
(a) MOVE (b) ENTER (c) MONGER (d) TARGET

Accepted Answer

(d) TARGET.

GOVERNMENT contains no A, so TARGET cannot be built. MOVE, ENTER and MONGER use only available letters.

Question 6

Which word can be formed using all the letters of MASTER?
(a) STREAM (b) MASTERS (c) SMARTED (d) TAMERS

Accepted Answer

(a) STREAM.

MASTER = M,A,S,T,E,R; STREAM is an exact anagram. MASTERS and TAMERS add an extra S; SMARTED needs a D.

Question 7

How many meaningful three-letter words can be formed using each of the letters E, A, T exactly once?
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5

Accepted Answer

(b) 3.

EAT, ATE and TEA are the common dictionary words (ETA is a Greek letter/technical term, usually not counted).

Question 8

Which word cannot be formed from the letters of STATIONERY?
(a) NATION (b) SENATOR (c) RETAIN (d) STONE

Accepted Answer

(a) NATION.

NATION needs two N's; STATIONERY has only one N. SENATOR, RETAIN and STONE all fit the available letters.

Question 9

Using the same matrices, which set of coordinates represents 'NOTE'? N=02/85, O=01/58, T=12/90, E=03/56.
(a) 85, 01, 12, 56 (b) 85, 01, 12, 04 (c) 02, 58, 90, 89 (d) 79, 01, 12, 03

Accepted Answer

(a) 85, 01, 12, 56.

Decoding: 85 = N, 01 = O, 12 = T, 56 = E → NOTE. Option (b) ends in Y (04), (c) ends in S (89), and (d) starts with M (79).
