If each vowel in the word FLOWING is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order and each consonant is changed to the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabetical order, then how many vowels are there in the group of letters thus formed?

Identify vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and consonants in the word. Apply the shifts (+1 for Vowels, -1 for Consonants) mentally. Vowel + 1 often results in a consonant, so count carefully.

Analyze the word FLOWING
Identify the letters and their types: F(C), L(C), O(V), W(C), I(V), N(C), G(C). The vowels are O and I.
Apply Transformation Rules
Consonants (F, L, W, N, G) shift back (-1): F тЖТ E, L тЖТ K, W тЖТ V, N тЖТ M, G тЖТ F. Vowels (O, I) shift forward (+1): O тЖТ P, I тЖТ J. The resulting sequence is E K P V JMF.
Count Vowels in Result
In the sequence E K P V J M F, check for vowels (A, E, I, O, U). Only 'E' is a vowel. The count is 1.
A: 0 is incorrect as E is a vowel. B: 2 is incorrect as there is only one vowel. C: 3 is incorrect as the sequence does not contain three vowels.
D is correct because applying the logic (Vowel+1, Consonant-1) to FLOWING gives E K P V J M F, which contains exactly one vowel (E).
Always verify if a vowel shifting forward (+1) accidentally turns into another vowel or a consonant; never assume the count stays the same.
