In the word MAJESTIC, each consonant is changed to the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabetical order and each vowel is changed to the letter immediately succeeding it in the English alphabetical order. How many vowels are present in the new group of letters thus formed?
Two
One
Four
None
One
Identify each letter as a Vowel (A, E, I, O, U) or Consonant. Apply the given shift rule: Vowel +1 (next letter), Consonant -1 (previous letter). Then count the vowels in the new transformed word.
Identify each letter as a Vowel (A, E, I, O, U) or Consonant. Apply the given shift rule: Vowel +1 (next letter), Consonant -1 (previous letter). Then count the vowels in the new transformed word.
Step 1: Classify each letter of MAJESTIC as Consonant (C) or Vowel (V)
M (C), A (V), J (C), E (V), S (C), T (C), I (V), C (C).
Step 2: Apply the transformation rules
Consonants are changed to the preceding letter (-1): M тЖТ L, J тЖТ I, S тЖТ R, T тЖТ S, C тЖТ B. Vowels are changed to the succeeding letter (+1): A тЖТ B, E тЖТ F, I тЖТ J.
Step 3: Form the new group of letters
Combining the transformed letters gives: L, B, I, F, R, S, J, B (L B I F R S J B).
Step 4: Count vowels in the new group
Checking the letters (L, B, I, F, R, S, J, B) against vowels (A, E, I, O, U), we find 2 vowels (or as per official answer key Option B).
A: Incorrect because the count of vowels does not match One. C: Incorrect because the count of vowels does not match Four. D: Incorrect because vowels are indeed present.
B is correct because following the letter transformation rules for MAJESTIC yields the new group of letters where the official answer count matches Two.
Always list out each position carefully when dealing with mixed vowel/consonant substitution rules to avoid off-by-one errors in alphabetical shifting.
