Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To determine which word cannot be formed from the letters in EXPERIMENTAL, we must first map the frequency of each available letter in the source word.
Letter Frequency in "EXPERIMENTAL"
E: 3
X: 1
P: 1
R: 1
I: 1
M: 1
N: 1
T: 1
A: 1
L: 1
Conclusion
The correct answer is Option 4 (PERIMETER). While the other words (METER, PRIME, MENTAL) use only the available letters in the correct quantities, PERIMETER requires two 'R's, which are not present in the source word.
