Question

Each consonant of the word ‘TERMINATION’ is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabetical series and each vowel is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical series. If the new alphabets thus formed are arranged in alphabetical order (from left to right), which of the following will be the sixth letter from the right end?

• A. M
• B. S
• C. P
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The problem requires transforming the letters of the word "TERMINATION" by converting consonants to the previous letter and vowels to the next letter in the English alphabetical series.

Let's process each letter:

• T (consonant): Previous letter is S.
• E (vowel): Next letter is F.
• R (consonant): Previous letter is Q.
• M (consonant): Previous letter is L.
• I (vowel): Next letter is J.
• N (consonant): Previous letter is M.
• A (vowel): Next letter is B.
• T (consonant): Previous letter is S.
• I (vowel): Next letter is J.
• O (vowel): Next letter is P.
• N (consonant): Previous letter is M.

This produces the sequence: SFQLJMBSJPM.

Next, arrange these letters in alphabetical order:

1. B
2. F
3. J
4. J
5. L
6. M
7. M
8. P
9. Q
10. S
11. S

The sixth letter from the right end in this arrangement is M.
