Correct Answer: have been know the result
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation: The error lies in the use of the phrase "have been know". The correct form should be "have known" when expressing future perfect tense. The structure is "will have known", indicating that the action of knowing the result will be completed in the future before a specified time (next week). The verb "know" should be in its past participle form "known" in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: We will have known the result of the CAT exam by next week.
