Logical Reasoning(IBPS CL) arrangement and pattern

Seven letters are arranged in a linear arrangement to form a meaningful word. A is second to the left of I. L is to the left of N. Not more than two letters are placed between I and G. G is placed to the right of I. G is not neighbor of E and D. D and E are placed next to each other. Which letter is placed in exactly middle of the meaningful word so formed. If more than one word is formed mark your option as X?

Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- A is second to the left of I.

- So, if I is at position 4, A is at position 2. This fixes their relative positions but not the whole word.

- L is to the left of N.

- L must come before N, but we don’t know how many spots in-between.

- Not more than two letters are placed between I and G. G is placed to the right of I.

- G has to be within two spaces right of I.

- G is not neighbor of E and D.

- G can’t be directly next to E or D.

- D and E are placed next to each other.

- D and E must be together, either as (D E) or (E D).

Here’s the thing:

Every time you try to fit these rules together, there’s more than one possible arrangement. You can place A and I but there’s still flexibility for G, D, E, L, and N around them, especially given the "not more than two" rule for (I, G) and the D-E pairing.

So, there’s not a single, unique word possible here.

Options:

1. N

2. L

3. X

4. E

5. G

The answer is Option 3: X because multiple meaningful arrangements are possible, not just one.
