Question

If each vowel in the word RESIDE is changed to its previous letter in the English alphabet and each consonant is changed to the next letter in the English alphabet, which one of the following options will be the third from the right?

• A. T
• B. D
• C. S
• D. H

Hint:

Work step-by-step to transform each character according to given rules. Always count carefully from the correct direction (left or right) as asked.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Identify vowels and consonants in RESIDE.

RESIDE contains:
R (consonant), E (vowel), S (consonant), I (vowel), D (consonant), E (vowel)

Step 2: Apply transformation rules.

Vowel → previous letter
Consonant → next letter

Transforming:
\[ \begin{aligned} R &\rightarrow S \\ E &\rightarrow D \\ S &\rightarrow T \\ I &\rightarrow H \\ D &\rightarrow E \\ E &\rightarrow D \\ \end{aligned} \]
So the new word is: S D T H E D

Step 3: Find third letter from the right.

From the right: D (1st), E (2nd), H (3rd)
