If each alternate letter beginning with the first in the word WORKING ...
To solve this question, we need to apply the given rules to the word "WORKING" and determine the fourth letter from the right end after the replacement.
Given word: WORKING
Rule 1: Replace each alternate letter beginning with the first by the next letter in the English alphabet.
Rule 2: Replace each of the remaining letters by the previous letter in the English alphabet.
Let's apply these rules step by step:
Step 1: Apply Rule 1
- Replace the first letter "W" with the next letter in the English alphabet, which is "X".
- Keep the second letter "O" as it is.
- Replace the third letter "R" with the next letter in the English alphabet, which is "S".
- Keep the fourth letter "K" as it is.
- Replace the fifth letter "I" with the next letter in the English alphabet, which is "J".
- Keep the sixth letter "N" as it is.
- Replace the seventh letter "G" with the next letter in the English alphabet, which is "H".
The word becomes "XOHSJNH".
Step 2: Apply Rule 2
- Replace the first letter "X" with the previous letter in the English alphabet, which is "W".
- Keep the second letter "O" as it is.
- Replace the third letter "H" with the previous letter in the English alphabet, which is "G".
- Keep the fourth letter "S" as it is.
- Replace the fifth letter "J" with the previous letter in the English alphabet, which is "I".
- Keep the sixth letter "N" as it is.
- Replace the seventh letter "N" with the previous letter in the English alphabet, which is "M".
The word becomes "WOGSIMM".
Now, we need to find the fourth letter from the right end. Counting from the right end, we have "M" (1st), "I" (2nd), "S" (3rd), and finally "G" as the fourth letter.
Thus, the fourth letter from the right end after the replacement is "G". Therefore, the correct answer is option c) J.
