SUN RAT HIT BEG
In each of the words, each vowel is changed to the letter immediately following it in the English alphabetical order and each consonant is changed to the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabetical order. In how many letter-clusters thus formed, will no vowel appear?
Alphabet Transformation Logic Puzzle
The question requires transforming letters within given words based on specific alphabetical rules and then counting the resulting words that contain no vowels.
Transformation Rules
- Vowels (A, E, I, O, U): Replace with the next letter in the alphabet (e.g., A becomes B, U becomes V).
- Consonants: Replace with the preceding letter in the alphabet (e.g., S becomes R, N becomes M).
Applying Rules to Words
Let's transform each word step-by-step:
-
SUN
- S (consonant) is replaced by R (preceding letter).
- U (vowel) is replaced by V (following letter).
- N (consonant) is replaced by M (preceding letter).
- Result: RVM
-
RAT
- R (consonant) is replaced by Q (preceding letter).
- A (vowel) is replaced by B (following letter).
- T (consonant) is replaced by S (preceding letter).
- Result: QBS
-
HIT
- H (consonant) is replaced by G (preceding letter).
- I (vowel) is replaced by J (following letter).
- T (consonant) is replaced by S (preceding letter).
- Result: GJS
-
BEGIN
- B (consonant) is replaced by A (preceding letter).
- E (vowel) is replaced by F (following letter).
- G (consonant) is replaced by F (preceding letter).
- I (vowel) is replaced by J (following letter).
- N (consonant) is replaced by M (preceding letter).
- Result: AFFJM
Identifying Words Without Vowels
Now, let's check each transformed word for the presence of vowels (A, E, I, O, U):
- RVM: Contains no vowels.
- QBS: Contains no vowels.
- GJS: Contains no vowels.
- AFFJM: Contains the vowel 'A'.
Final Count
There are three transformed words (RVM, QBS, GJS) that do not contain any vowels.
