                 1 2  3 4  5 6  7   8  9 10
    Step 1: A D J U S T M  E N T
                  1   7   8  10
    Step 2:  A  M  E  T

    Step 3:
      Trial 1:               Trial 2:          
    AMET X             MAET X
    AMTE X             MATE  
    AEMT X             MEAT  
    AETM X             META  
    ATME X             MTAE X
    ATEM X             MTEA X


    Trial 3:                Trial 4:                  
    EAMT X           TAME X               
    EATM X           TAEM X
    EMAT X           TMAE X
    EMTA X           TMEA X
    ETAM X           TEAM  
    ETMA X           TEMA X

    So, 4 meaningful words( MATE, MEAT, META, TEAM) can be formed .

    => In exam, few questions ask you to find if more than one word can be formed from a given word positions.  You should be smart in answering these type of questions. Check if at least 2 words are forming . If yes, then stop immediately and answer the question.  Don't kill your valuable time in finding remaining words as they are of no use to you in answering given question.

    Example 2: If it is possible to make a meaningful word with the first, second , third and fourth  letters of the word BANGLADESH , using each letter once, then what is the letter of that word ?  if more tan one such word can be formed mark "M" as the answer and if no such word can be formed mark "X"as the answer .
                  1  2 3  4  5 6  7  8  9  10
    Step 1:  B A N G L A D E S  H
                 1  2   3   4
    Step 2: B  A  N  G

    Step 3 :

    Trial 1:
    BAN    
    BANG 
    BAGN X
    BNAG X
    BNGA X
    BGAN X
    BGNA X

    -> Stop at this stage as you have found two meaningful words BAN and BANG  . and answer the question as  "M"   Don't proceed trial where you will get another word NAB as it has no use in answering given question.
