Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: (v), (vi), (iv), (iii), (i), (ii)
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:We are given six letters and their indices. The task is to arrange them to form a meaningful English word and then report the sequence of indices that achieves it. This is a classic anagram-with-indices question.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Check common six-letter permutations. “SPIDER” matches all letters exactly and is a common dictionary word. Map its letter order back to indices to obtain the sequence demanded by the problem.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Target word: SPIDER.Map letters to indices: S→(v), P→(vi), I→(iv), D→(iii), E→(i), R→(ii).Thus the order of indices is (v), (vi), (iv), (iii), (i), (ii).Verification / Alternative check:Confirm that each letter is used exactly once and that the constructed word is valid English. No duplicates or omissions occur.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:Choosing a rarer word or misaligning indices to letters; forgetting to preserve the one-to-one correspondence.
Final Answer:(v), (vi), (iv), (iii), (i), (ii)
