In the word DANGEROUS, if all the vowels are replaced by the next letter and all the consonants are replaced by the previous letter, then all repeated letters are removed, how many letters lie between the 6th letter from the left and the 4th letter from the right according to alphabetical order?
- 7
- 4
- 2
- 1
Correct answer: 4
Solution
After shifting vowels to the next letter and consonants to the previous letter, the word becomes a new sequence with repeated letters removed. Identifying the 6th letter from the left and the 4th from the right in that final sequence gives two letters whose alphabetical positions differ by 5, so there are 4 letters between them.
