In the word MASTER, 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 consonants are present in the new group of letters thus formed?
Six
Four
Three
Five
Six
Identify each letter in MASTER as either a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) or a consonant. Vowels change to the next letter (+1), and consonants change to the preceding letter (-1). Count the consonants in the resulting word.
Identify each letter in MASTER as either a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) or a consonant. Vowels change to the next letter (+1), and consonants change to the preceding letter (-1). Count the consonants in the resulting word.
Step 1: Identify Letters and Categories in MASTER
The given word is MASTER. Its letters are M (consonant), A (vowel), S (consonant), T (consonant), E (vowel), R (consonant).
Step 2: Apply Transformation Rules
Consonants change to the immediately preceding letter (-1): M тЖТ L, S тЖТ R, T тЖТ S, R тЖТ Q. Vowels change to the immediately succeeding letter (+1): A тЖТ B, E тЖТ F.
Step 3: Form the New Group of Letters and Count Consonants
The newly formed group of letters is L, B, R, S, F, Q. Checking each letter: L, B, R, S, F, Q are all consonants (vowel is none). Thus, there are 6 consonants.
B) Four is incorrect because there are 6 letters and all 6 are consonants. C) Three and D) Five are incorrect counting outcomes.
A is correct because applying the consonant preceding and vowel succeeding rules to MASTER yields LBRSFQ, which contains 6 consonants.
Always list out every single character mapping clearly when dealing with combined vowel/consonant position shifts to avoid silly counting mistakes.
