The correct answer is

Q

Let's break down the problem step-by-step to find the correct letter.

Analyzing the Word 'HERITAGE'

The given word is HERITAGE. We need to apply specific rules to its letters.

Rule Application: Vowels and Consonants

First, identify the vowels and consonants in the word 'HERITAGE':

  • Vowels: E, I, A, E
  • Consonants: H, R, T, G

Now, apply the transformation rules:

  • Vowels are changed to the next letter in the alphabet.
  • Consonants are changed to the previous letter in the alphabet.

Let's see the changes:

  • H (consonant) -> G (previous letter)
  • E (vowel) -> F (next letter)
  • R (consonant) -> Q (previous letter)
  • I (vowel) -> J (next letter)
  • T (consonant) -> S (previous letter)
  • A (vowel) -> B (next letter)
  • G (consonant) -> F (previous letter)
  • E (vowel) -> F (next letter)

After applying these changes, the sequence becomes: G F Q J S B F F.

Alphabetical Arrangement

The next step is to arrange these new letters in alphabetical order from left to right:

  • Original sequence: G, F, Q, J, S, B, F, F
  • Alphabetical order: B, F, F, F, G, J, Q, S

The rearranged sequence is: B F F F G J Q S.

Finding the Target Letter

The question asks for the letter that is 5th to the right of the 2nd letter from the left end of this rearranged sequence.

The rearranged sequence is: B F F F G J Q S

  • The 1st letter from the left is B.
  • The 2nd letter from the left is F.

Now, we need to find the letter that is 5th to the right of this second letter (F):

  1. 1st to the right: F
  2. 2nd to the right: F
  3. 3rd to the right: G
  4. 4th to the right: J
  5. 5th to the right: Q

Therefore, the letter 5th to the right of the 2nd letter from the left end is Q.
