UPSC CAPF – 2012
The letters available in INTELLIGENCE are I(2), N(2), T(1), E(3), L(2), G(1), C(1). The word ‘INCITE’ requires the letters I(2), N(1), C(1), T(1), E(1). All these letters are present in INTELLIGENCE in sufficient or greater quantity (INTELLIGENCE has 2 I’s, 2 N’s, 1 C, 1 T, 3 E’s). Therefore, INCITE can be formed.
To solve this, list the letters and their counts in the original word. Then, check if the required letters for each option are available in sufficient quantities.
A) SCIENCE requires ‘S’ which is not in INTELLIGENCE.
B) NOTICE requires ‘O’ which is not in INTELLIGENCE.
D) ENTAIL requires ‘A’ which is not in INTELLIGENCE.
