Categorize letters of BLEACH
Consonants are B, L, C, H. Vowels are E, A.
Apply transformation rules
Consonants (-1): B → A, L → K, C → B, H → G. Vowels (+1): E → F, A → B. The new sequence is A, K, F, B, B, G.
Identify repeated letter
The resulting group is A, K, F, B, B, G. The letter B is repeated twice.
A: A appears only once in the final set. B: K appears only once in the final set. C: F appears only once in the final set.
D is correct because the transformation of the letters in BLEACH results in A, K, F, B, B, G, where B is the only letter that repeats twice.
When dealing with letter transformations, always list the rule for consonants and vowels distinctly at the start to avoid processing errors.
