Appeared in: AIIMS BHOPAL NO- 2018( Shift-2nd)

Explanation

The question asks to identify which of the given words can be formed using the letters from the word 'INTELLIGENCE'.
The word 'Gentle' requires the letters G, E, N, T, L, and E.
The source word 'INTELLIGENCE' contains all of these necessary letters: I(2), N(2), T(1), E(4), L(2), G(1), C(1).
Therefore, 'Gentle' is the only word that can be successfully formed from the letters of 'INTELLIGENCE'.

Option A: The word 'Entrance' cannot be formed because it requires the letters 'R' and 'A', which are not present in the source word 'INTELLIGENCE'.
Option B: The word 'Centre' cannot be formed because it requires the letter 'R', which is not available in the source word 'INTELLIGENCE'.
Option C: The word 'Teenage' cannot be formed because it requires the letter 'A', which is not found in the source word 'INTELLIGENCE'.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Word formation from a given set of letters as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
While not a clinical question, this type of logical reasoning problem assesses analytical and problem-solving skills.
These skills are crucial for nurses in clinical practice for tasks like interpreting patient data, troubleshooting equipment, and making sound clinical judgments under pressure.
What if the source word was 'INTERNATIONAL'? In that case, 'Entrance' could be formed, as all its letters (E, N, T, R, A, N, C, E) are present in 'INTERNATIONAL'.

How to Approach the Question

First, carefully read the source word provided in the question ('INTELLIGENCE') and mentally or physically list all the letters it contains.
It's helpful to note the frequency of each letter (e.g., E appears 4 times, L appears 2 times).
Next, examine each option one by one.
For each option, check if all of its letters are present in the source word.
The quickest way to eliminate incorrect options is to look for a letter in the option that is completely absent from the source word.
For example, in 'Entrance', the letter 'R' is not in 'INTELLIGENCE', so you can immediately discard it. Apply this elimination strategy to all options to find the correct answer.
