Year Asked: 2013
Correct Answer
B. weDNeSDay
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is B. The word is WEDNESDAY, which has nine letters. Apply the rule position by position. The first letter (W) and the last letter (Y) are small. The middle letter is the 5th, which is E, so it is small too. All vowels (E, E, A) are small. Everything else, namely D, N, S and D, is capital.
Building it up gives w-e-D-N-e-S-D-a-y, which is weDNeSDay. Now the wrong options:
- A) WeDNESDay keeps the first letter capital and capitalises the N, E and S in the wrong places. The W and the middle E both break the rule.
- C) WEDNesDAY capitalises the first letter and the vowel A, violating both the first-letter rule and the vowel rule.
- D) WeDneSDay makes the fourth letter N small, though it is neither first, middle, last nor a vowel.
The concept is positional classification of letters, treating first, middle and last positions and vowels as separate categories. Such letter-coding questions sit in the reasoning and mental ability segment, where careful rule-by-rule checking matters more than factual recall.
Trap: Many aspirants forget that an odd-length word has a single middle letter, or they miss one of the three vowels in WEDNESDAY and wrongly pick D.
