Q. If all the vowels in the words are changed to the preceding alphabets and all the consonants in the words are changed to the next alphabets as per the English alphabetical series and the letters are then arranged in the alphabetical order from left to right (each letter is to be counted as many times as it appears). Which of the following has maximum letters remain unchanged in their position? (Consider next letter of Z as A and Previous letter of A as Z)
I. CIRCUMLOCUTION
II. EMBEZZLEMENT
III. IDIOSYNCRATIC
A. Only II
B. Only III
C. Both I and II
D. All of these
E. None of these
Ans: Only III
Sol:
In these types of questions, we have to step by step.
STEP I:If all the vowels in the words are changed to the preceding alphabets and all the consonants in the words are changed to the next alphabets as per the English alphabetical series.
After this indication the new words will look like this:
I. DHSDTNMNDTUHNO
II. DNCDAAMDNDOU
III. HEHNTZODSZUHD
STEP II: Now the new words will be arranged in the alphabetical order from left to right (each letter is to be counted as many times as it appears).
After this instruction the new words will look like
this:
I. DDDHHMNNNOSTTU
II. AACDDDDMNNOU
III. DDEHHHNOSTUZZ
After this arrangement we can see that only
word which has maximum letters remain
unchanged after the arrangement and that word
is “IDIOSYNCRATIC”
