GRAVITY Letter Transformation Explained
The question asks us to transform the letters in the word GRAVITY based on specific rules involving alphabetical order and then count the consonants in the resulting word.
Understanding the Transformation Rules
The rules are:
- Consonants are replaced by the letter immediately preceding them in the English alphabet.
- Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) are replaced by the letter immediately succeeding them in the English alphabet.
Applying the Rules to GRAVITY
Let's break down the word GRAVITY and apply the rules:
- G: Is a consonant. The letter preceding G is F.
- R: Is a consonant. The letter preceding R is Q.
- A: Is a vowel. The letter succeeding A is B.
- V: Is a consonant. The letter preceding V is U.
- I: Is a vowel. The letter succeeding I is J.
- T: Is a consonant. The letter preceding T is S.
- Y: Is generally considered a consonant in this context. The letter preceding Y is X.
The New Group of Letters
Following the transformations above, the word GRAVITY becomes FQBUJSX.
Identifying Consonants in the New Word
Now, we need to identify the consonants in the new word FQBUJSX. The vowels are A, E, I, O, U.
- F: Consonant
- Q: Consonant
- B: Consonant
- U: Vowel

Counting the Consonants
The consonants in the new word FQBUJSX are F, Q, B, J, S, and X. Counting these, we find there are 6 consonants.
