Identify only the first three letters of the word and apply the specific rule (+1 for vowel, -1 for consonant) immediately without writing the full word.
Identify only the first three letters of the word and apply the specific rule (+1 for vowel, -1 for consonant) immediately without writing the full word.
Analyze the word and rules
Word: C-O-L-L-E-G-E. Rule: Consonants (C, L, G) are replaced by the preceding letter (-1); Vowels (O, E) are replaced by the following letter (+1).
Perform character mapping for the first three letters
1st letter: C is a consonant, C-1 = B. 2nd letter: O is a vowel, O+1 = P. 3rd letter: L is a consonant, L-1 = K.
Determine the result
The transformed sequence starts B-P-K. The 3rd letter from the left is K.
A: P is the second letter, not the third; B: B is the first letter, not the third; C: F is the transformed result of E in the word, which appears later, not the third position.
D is correct because following the rule of -1 for consonants and +1 for vowels, the first three letters of COLLEGE transform to B, P, and K respectively, making K the third letter.
In questions asking for a specific position (like 'third from left'), never transform the entire word; focus only on the letters required to reach that specific position to save time.
