Identify vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and consonants in the word, apply the respective shift rule (+1 for consonants, -1 for vowels), and then count the resulting consonants.
Step 1: Identify Vowels and Consonants in VERIFY
In the word VERIFY, the letters are V (Consonant), E (Vowel), R (Consonant), I (Vowel), F (Consonant), Y (Consonant).
Step 2: Apply the Given Transformation Rules
Consonants shift to the immediately succeeding letter (+1): V тЖТ W, R тЖТ S, F тЖТ G, Y тЖТ Z. Vowels shift to the immediately preceding letter (-1): E тЖТ D, I тЖТ H.
Step 3: Form the New Group of Letters and Count Consonants
The newly formed group of letters is W, D, S, H, G, Z. All 6 letters are consonants. Thus, the total number of consonants is 6 (Six).
A: Four is incorrect because there are 6 consonants, not 4. C: Five is incorrect because all 6 letters in the new group are consonants. D: Three is incorrect because the count of consonants is 6.
B is correct because applying the given transformation rules to VERIFY yields W, D, S, H, G, Z, all 6 of which are consonants.
Always read letter-transformation instructions carefully to distinguish between preceding (-1) and succeeding (+1) rules for vowels and consonants.
