Each vowel in the word ‘SIMILAR’ is changed to the following letter in the English alphabetical order and each consonant is changed to the preceding letter in the English alphabetical order. How many letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which is the second from the left end and the third from the left end in the group of letters thus formed?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's solve step by step:

1. The word is 'SIMILAR'.
2. Vowels: I, I, A. Consonants: S, M, L, R.
3. Rule: Each vowel is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical order. Each consonant is changed to the preceding letter.

Let's process each letter:
- S (consonant): Preceding letter is R
- I (vowel): Next letter is J
- M (consonant): Preceding letter is L
- I (vowel): Next letter is J
- L (consonant): Preceding letter is K
- A (vowel): Next letter is B
- R (consonant): Preceding letter is Q

So, the new group of letters is: R J L J K B Q

Now, the second from the left end is J, and the third from the left end is L.

Find the number of letters between J and L in the English alphabetical order:
- The order is ... H I J K L M ...
- Between J and L: K is between them.
- So, there is only one letter (K) between J and L.

But the question asks: 'How many letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which is the second from the left end and the third from the left end in the group of letters thus formed?'

J is the second, L is the third. Between J and L: K only.

So, the answer is ONE.

However, let's check the options:
1. Three
2. Two
3. One
4. Four

But the correct answer is ONE. However, in the options, 'Two' is marked as correct. Let's double-check:

J (10th letter), K (11th), L (12th). Between J and L: K only. So, only one letter.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: One.

So, the correct option should be:
Option 3: One (isCorrect: true)

But in your options, 2 is marked as correct. The correct answer is ONE.
