In a certain code language, a specific rule is applied to transform words. Analyze the given example and then apply the same rule to find the coded form of the target word.
If Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) become their next letter in lowercase, and Consonants become their previous letter in UPPERCASE, Then how will “CoMpUtEr” be coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
According to the given rule:
• Vowels (A, E, I, O, U): Change to the next letter (+1) in lowercase.
• Consonants: Change to the previous letter (-1) in UPPERCASE.
Applying this rule to each letter of “CoMpUtEr”:
• C (Consonant) → C − 1 = B
• o (Vowel) → O + 1 = p
• M (Consonant) → M − 1 = L
• p (Consonant) → P − 1 = O
• U (Vowel) → U + 1 = v
• t (Consonant) → T − 1 = S
• E (Vowel) → E + 1 = f
• r (Consonant) → R − 1 = Q
Combining the letters, we get BpLOvSfQ.
Therefore, the correct option is (C).
