Analyze the given word and rules
The given word is PLANTED. Vowels are A and E. Consonants are P, L, N, T, D. Rule: Vowel +1 letter, Consonant -1 letter.
Apply transformation to each letter
P (-1) тЖТ O, L (-1) тЖТ K, A (+1) тЖТ B, N (-1) тЖТ M, T (-1) тЖТ S, E (+1) тЖТ F, D (-1) тЖТ C.
Form the new group of letters
The new word/group of letters formed is O K B M S F C.
Determine the required position
The question asks for the third position from the left in the new group. Looking at O K B M S F C, the 3rd letter is B.
B: ..., C: ..., D: ...
A is correct because applying the vowel (+1) and consonant (-1) transformation rules to PLANTED yields O K B M S F C, where the third letter from the left is B.
Always carefully read whether the question asks to count from the left or right, and double-check vowel/consonant definitions before applying sequence rules.
