If in the word **CONVERSION**, each letter at an odd position (from the left) is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet, and each letter at an even position is replaced by the previous letter in the alphabet, how many letters are repeated in the new arrangement?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Write down the word with positions:
   - C(1), O(2), N(3), V(4), E(5), R(6), S(7), I(8), O(9), N(10)

2. For letters in odd positions (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), replace each with the next letter in the alphabet:
   - C → D
   - N → O
   - E → F
   - S → T
   - O → P

3. For letters in even positions (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), replace each with the previous letter in the alphabet:
   - O → N
   - V → U
   - R → Q
   - I → H
   - N → M

4. The new word formed is:
   - Positions 1 to 10: D N O U F Q T H P M

5. Check for repeated letters:
   - Letters are D, N, O, U, F, Q, T, H, P, M
   - All letters are unique; no repetitions.
