In the word JOURNALIST, the following transformation rule is applied:
How many letters will appear exactly twice in the group of letters thus formed?
Two
Three
None
One
None
Identify each letter as a vowel or consonant first, apply the respective rule (+1 for vowel, -1 for consonant), write out the transformed word, and count letter frequencies.
Identify each letter as a vowel or consonant first, apply the respective rule (+1 for vowel, -1 for consonant), write out the transformed word, and count letter frequencies.
Step 1: Identify Vowels and Consonants
In the word JOURNALIST, the vowels are O, U, A, I (4 vowels) and the consonants are J, R, N, J, L, S, T (7 consonants).
Step 2: Apply Transformation Rules
Vowels (+1 next letter): O тЖТ P, U тЖТ V, A тЖТ B, I тЖТ J. Consonants (-1 previous letter): J тЖТ I, R тЖТ Q, N тЖТ M, J тЖТ I, L тЖТ K, S тЖТ R, T тЖТ S.
Step 3: Form New Letter Group and Count Frequencies
The resulting group of letters is: I, P, V, Q, M, I, B, K, J, R, S. Checking frequencies, only the letter I appears twice. All other letters appear once.
Two: Incorrect because only one letter appears twice. Three: Incorrect as there are no three letters repeating. None: Incorrect since letter I appears twice.
D is correct because letter I appears exactly twice in the newly formed group of letters (I P V Q M I B K J R S), making the count one.
Always list out every single transformed character sequentially to avoid missing duplicate letter counts.
