Question

If in English alphabet 'e' and every alternate letter from 'e' is written in capitals, then how will sixth month from March be coded as

• A. SEPTembER
• B. SEpTEmbEr
• C. SepTEmbEr
• D. SEPTEnubER

Hint:

When a question's rule seems to produce a result that isn't in the options, double-check your interpretation. If you are confident in your logic, the question itself may be flawed. In such cases, look for the 'closest' possible answer.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This is a coding problem with a specific rule. Let's break it down. Step 1: Identify the word to be coded. The "sixth month from March" is September. So, the word is SEPTEMBER.

Step 2: Interpret the capitalization rule. The rule is "'e' and every alternate letter from 'e' is written in capitals". This means we start with 'e' (the 5th letter of the alphabet) and capitalize it, skip the next letter (f), capitalize the one after (g), and so on. The positions of the letters to be capitalized are: 5th(e), 7th(g), 9th(i), 11th(k), 13th(m), 15th(o), 17th(q), 19th(s), 21st(u), 23rd(w), 25th(y). So, the set of capital letters is: E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, S, U, W, Y.

Step 3: Apply the rule to the word SEPTEMBER. Let's check each letter of SEPTEMBER against our set of capital letters.
S (19th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is in our set, so it becomes S.
E (5th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is in our set, so it becomes E.
P (16th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is NOT in our set, so it remains p.
T (20th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is NOT in our set, so it remains t.
E (5th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is in our set, so it becomes E.
M (13th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is in our set, so it becomes M.
B (2nd letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is NOT in our set, so it remains b.
E (5th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is in our set, so it becomes E.
R (18th letter) \(\rightarrow\) Is NOT in our set, so it remains r. The logical result is SEptEmbEr. Note: The logical interpretation of the rule leads to "SEptEmbEr". This is not among the options. The provided correct answer is "SEpTEmbEr", which incorrectly capitalizes 'T'. This suggests there is an error in the question or the provided options/answer key. However, selecting the option that is most similar to the logical result would be necessary in a test scenario.
