Word Formation Questions and Answers – Page 2

The verified answer to “Solve this Word Formation question: Which of the following words can be formed from the letters of 'STATISTICS' without using any letter more times than it appears?” is STATIC, option D. The question-specific working supplied with the item states: Count the letters of the source word STATISTICS and compare them with each option. The word STATIC can be formed: every letter in STATIC occurs in STATISTICS, and each repeated letter is required no more often than it is available. Matching the letters one by one gives a complete allocation with no borrowed or extra letter, so option D is valid. QUIZ is impossible because it needs 1 occurrence(s) of Q, while STATISTICS provides only 0. JAZZ is impossible because it needs 1 occurrence(s) of J, while STATISTICS provides only 0. BOX is impossible because it needs 1 occurrence(s) of B, while STATISTICS provides only 0. A single missing letter or one excess repetition is sufficient to reject a word; the other matching letters cannot compensate for that shortage. Letter order may change in a formation question, but the inventory of letters cannot. Rechecking the correct word against the source confirms that its length and every individual frequency remain within the available limits. Therefore STATIC, and only STATIC among the four choices, can be formed from STATISTICS. This working identifies the relevant letter-frequency check and connects the given information to the required result. To solve reliably, represent every term, person, seat, letter or operation in the order stated; then apply one rule consistently instead of guessing from the final pair alone. After applying the verified rule, the required value or position is STATIC. The alternatives QUIZ, JAZZ and BOX fail because each breaks at least one stated condition, transition, direction or arithmetic step.
