IBPS PO Mains 30 Nov 2024 Shift 2 Paper

Concept:Each word uses one letter from each of the three dice. If two words share the same two letters and differ in the third, the differing letters must belong to the same dice.Explanation:Compare $\mathrm{RED}$ and $\mathrm{ERA}$. The letters $\mathrm{R}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ are common, so $\mathrm{D}$ and $\mathrm{A}$ must be on the same dice.Thus, $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{D}$ belong to Dice 3.Now compare $\mathrm{RIP}$ and $\mathrm{LIE}$. Since $\mathrm{R}$ is on Dice 1 and $\mathrm{E}$ is on Dice 2, the common letter $\mathrm{I}$ must be on Dice 3.This gives $\mathrm{P}$ on Dice 1 and $\mathrm{L}$ on Dice 2.Using the words $\mathrm{LAB}$, $\mathrm{APT}$, $\mathrm{CAT}$, and $\mathrm{BUT}$, the complete faces become:Dice 1 contains the vowel $\mathrm{E}$, and Dice 3 contains the vowels $\mathrm{A}$, $\mathrm{I}$, and $\mathrm{U}$.Dice 2 has only $\mathrm{R}$, $\mathrm{T}$, $\mathrm{S}$, and $\mathrm{L}$, so it has no vowel.Among the options, the letter on Dice 2 is $\mathrm{L}$.Answer:$\mathrm{L}$ (Option C).
