Answer

Understanding the Problem
To solve the problem, we need to identify the specific letters from the words 'PRINCESS' and 'PRIDE' and see if we can form meaningful words.
Step 1: Identify the Required Letters
- From the word 'PRINCESS':
- 1st alphabet: P
- 6th alphabet: C
- From the word 'PRIDE':
- 1st alphabet: P
- 3rd alphabet: I
Step 2: Forming Combinations
Now we have the letters: P, C, P, I.
We can rearrange these letters to form different combinations.
Step 3: Possible Combinations
The possible combinations of the letters P, C, P, and I include:
- PIPC
- PICP
- CPIP
- CIP
Among these combinations, we need to check which ones form meaningful English words.
Step 4: Finding Meaningful Words
After checking the combinations, it’s identifiable that:
- 'PIP' is a valid word.
- 'PIC' is also a valid word.
Therefore, both 'PIP' and 'PIC' can be formed from the letters.
Step 5: Analyzing the Options
Since we can form more than one meaningful word (PIP and PIC), we conclude that:
- The answer is option Y (more than one such word can be formed).
Final Answer
The correct answer is option B.
