I. Cloth reel
J. Silent wonder
K. Good tone
L. Bronze rod
This puzzle requires arranging word pairs based on a hidden numerical value derived from the words themselves. The goal is to find the logic connecting words to numbers and then order them.
The hidden number, denoted as $N$, for each pair is determined using a two-step criterion:
The arrangement must be in ascending order, first by $n_e$, then by $p_e$.
| Pair | Words | Count of 'e' ($n_e$) | Position of First 'e' ($p_e$) | Derived Number (N) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | Cloth reel | 2 | 7 | 2 |
| J | Silent wonder | 2 | 4 | 2 |
| K | Good tone | 1 | 8 | 1 |
| L | Bronze rod | 1 | 5 | 1 |
Step 1: Grouping by $n_e$
The ascending order of $n_e$ places the group {L, K} before {J, I}.
Step 2: Secondary Sort using $p_e$ (Tie-breaker)
Step 3: Final Arrangement
Combining the sorted groups according to the ascending logic ($n_e$ then $p_e$) results in the final sequence: L, K, J, I.
The word pairs arranged correctly in ascending order are L, K, J, I.
Refer to the following letter series and answer the question.
(Left) C H T M L K N B P G Q D V W R A X Z F Y E S (Right)
How many unique vowels are there in the above series? (Each vowel counted only once regardless of repetition.)
This question is based on the words given below.
IRE AWE DAY FUR
In each of the words, each vowel is changed to the second letter preceding it in the English alphabetical order, and each consonant is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order. In how many letter-clusters thus formed will no vowel appear?
This question is based on the following words.
(Left) ONE TWO BEN MUG (Right)
If 'C' is added before each word, which of these words will form meaningful English word(s)?
