 CTS – Verbal & Reasoning (Recent Questions) – 2

In the following questions a ‘word’ is given which may not have any meaning. Find different possible words or palindromes for the word as per the question.

For the following find the number of distinct words that can be formed.
1.  TYGHHTT
a)  420                   b) 1540                 c) 840                    d) None
Ans: (a)

2.   TYGHHTY
Ans: (d)      (Same choices as above)

3.   TYGHASD
Ans: (d)      (Same choices as above)

Find the number of possible palindromes for following

4.  TYGHHTY
Ans: 3! (6 ways)
In the above word we have T, H and Y two times and G alone is single.
Hence in the palindrome G will come in the middle and the other three letters will form the two sides of G. The three letters can be arranged in 3! Ways.

5. TYHHHTYH.
Ans: 12 ways.
In the above word we have T and Y two times while H is occurring four times. Hence the palindrome will consist of TYHH and TYHH arranged in any manner.
Thus the four letters can be arranged in 4! Ways and since H is repeated the answer
Will be ->   4!/2! -> 12 ways.
