Directions: This question is based on five words given below.SIR DEV G...
Problem Analysis:
In this question, we are given five words: SIR, DEV, GOT, MIC, SAT. We need to perform two operations on these words:
1. Exchange the third alphabet with the first alphabet within each word.
2. Change the middle letter of each word to the next letter in the English alphabetical series.
We need to determine how many words will be formed after these operations, in which both the second and third places do not have consonants.
Operations:
1. Exchange the third alphabet with the first alphabet within each word:
- SIR becomes RIS
- DEV becomes VED
- GOT becomes TOG
- MIC becomes CIM
- SAT becomes TAS
2. Change the middle letter of each word to the next letter in the English alphabetical series:
- RIS becomes ROS
- VED becomes VEE
- TOG becomes TOH
- CIM becomes CIN
- TAS becomes TAT
Identifying Words without Consonants at Second and Third Places:
To determine the words that do not have consonants at both the second and third places, we need to check each word individually.
- ROS: The second and third letters are both consonants (O and S).
- VEE: The second letter is a vowel (E), but the third letter is a consonant (E).
- TOH: The second and third letters are both consonants (O and H).
- CIN: The second and third letters are both consonants (I and N).
- TAT: The second and third letters are both consonants (A and T).
Conclusion:
After performing the given operations, none of the words formed (ROS, VEE, TOH, CIN, TAT) have both the second and third places without consonants. Therefore, the correct answer is option D - None of the above.
