Question

If each of the vowels in the word HONESTLY is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical series and each consonant is changed to the previous letter in the English alphabetical series and then the alphabets so formed are arranged in alphabetical order from left to right, the positions of how many of the following alphabets will remain unchanged?

• A. None
• B. One
• C. Three
• D. More than three

Answer 1

The correct option is B

One

$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}\text{Given word}& H& O& N& E& S& T& L& Y\\ \text{After change}& G& P& M& F& R& S& K& X\\ \text{Alphabetical order}& F& G& K& M& P& R& S& X\end{array}$

It is clear that after rearranging the letters in alphabetical order, the position of only one alphabet i.e., ‘X’ will remain unchanged.
