अंग्रेज़ी शब्द बना गणितीय उलझन... (English word became mathematical problem...)

विशेष नोट : अगर आप जवाब ढूंढ लेते हैं तो ठीक, वरना कमेंट लिख दीजिएगा, मैं जवाब आपको मेल के जरिये भेज दूंगा...

एक दिन सार्थक और निष्ठा ने स्कूल से लौटकर मुझे चार अक्षर वाले एक अंग्रेज़ी शब्द के बारे में बताया, जो उन्होंने किसी दीवार पर लिखा देखा था...

सार्थक ने बताया, "पापा, उस शब्द में कोई भी अक्षर दोहराया नहीं गया था..."

फिर निष्ठा बोली, "पापा, यदि आप शब्द में मौजूद सभी अक्षरों को अंग्रेज़ी वर्णमाला में उनके क्रम से बदल देंगे, इस शब्द का योग बीस हो जाएगा..."

सार्थक फिर बोला, "पापा, सभी अक्षरों को वर्णमाला में उनके क्रम से बदल देने के बाद आप किन्हीं भी तीन अक्षरों का योग कर लीजिए, वह चौथे अक्षर से पूरी तरह विभाज्य होगा..."

अब निष्ठा ने मेरी कुटिल मुस्कान के साथ देखा, और पूछा, "पापा, आप शब्द बता पाएंगे, या हम ही बता दें...?"

अब क्या आप लोग मेरी मदद करेंगे, और मुझे वह शब्द बताएंगे...?

Now, the same riddle in English...

Special Note: If you succeed in solving this one, well and good; but in case, you don't, just leave a comment, and I will mail the answer to you...

One fine day, Saarthak and Nishtha came home from school, and told me about a four-letter English word they saw written on a wall...

Saathak told me, "Papa, no two letters were identical in that word..."

Nishtha then said, "Papa, if you replace the letters of the word with their respective positions in the English alphabets, the sum of the word will be twenty..."

Saarthak spoke again, and told me, "Papa, after the replacement of the letters with their respective position in the English alphabets, you can take the sum of any three letters, and it would be exactly divisible by the fourth letter..."

Then Nishtha smiled wickedly, and asked me, "Papa, will you be able to tell us the word, or should we tell you what it was...?"

Now, can you guys help me out, and tell me the word...?

  3. Deepesh bhai... Sabse pehle aapka comment copy-paste kiye de raha hoon...

    "Bhai ji, Word ---- matematics ke hisaab se sahi baith raha hai, kintu word ka koi saarthak meaning nahi nikal raha hai... Letters ko alta-palta karne par bhi koi meaningful word nahin ban raha hai...

    Kya ---- or ---- sahi uttar hai, ya meaningful word aavashyak hai...? Maargdarshan ki raah dekhta aapka..."

    Ab rahi baat aapke jawaab ki... Aapne jo shabd talaash kiya hai, woh bilkul sahi hai, aur katai meaningful bhi hai... Dictionary.com par jaakar dhoondhenge (ya koi dictionary kholkar dekh leejiyega) to iske ek nahin kayee arth mil jaayenge... Bahut-bahut badhaai... :-)
