Mapping characters of PAINTER
Identify the vowels and consonants in PAINTER: P(C), A(V), I(V), N(C), T(C), E(V), R(C).
Applying transformation rules
Rule 1: Vowel to next consonant (A → B, I → J, E → F). Rule 2: Consonant to next vowel (P → U, N → O, T → U, R → U). Resulting letters: P → U, A → B, I → J, N → O, T → U, E → F, R → U.
Checking the resulting group
The sequence is U, B, J, O, U, F, U. The letter 'U' appears three times.
A: Wrong, the letter O does not repeat three times. C: Wrong, the letter B does not repeat three times. D: Wrong, the letter F does not repeat three times.
B is correct because the word PAINTER transforms into U, B, J, O, U, F, U, in which the letter U is repeated thrice.
In transformation problems, always write down the character index and rules clearly to avoid confusion between vowels and consonants.
