Correct Answer :

Option E

None

Solution :

The correct option is None.


Let's break down the step-by-step process to transform the word CONVERSION based on the given rules.


Step 1: Identify the positions of each letter in the word "CONVERSION" (from left to right).

1st letter (Odd): C
2nd letter (Even): O
3rd letter (Odd): N
4th letter (Even): V
5th letter (Odd): E
6th letter (Even): R
7th letter (Odd): S
8th letter (Even): I
9th letter (Odd): O
10th letter (Even): N


Step 2: Apply the transformation rules:

- For odd-positioned letters: Replace with their just next letter in the alphabetical order (+1 position).
- For even-positioned letters: Replace with their just previous letter in the alphabetical order (-1 position).


Let's perform the operations for each letter:

1. C (1st, Odd) → C + 1 = D
2. O (2nd, Even) → O - 1 = N
3. N (3rd, Odd) → N + 1 = O
4. V (4th, Even) → V - 1 = U
5. E (5th, Odd) → E + 1 = F
6. R (6th, Even) → R - 1 = Q
7. S (7th, Odd) → S + 1 = T
8. I (8th, Even) → I - 1 = H
9. O (9th, Odd) → O + 1 = P
10. N (10th, Even) → N - 1 = M


Step 3: Write down the new word arrangement.

The new word formed is D N O U F Q T H P M.


Step 4: Count the repeated letters in the new arrangement.

Letters present in the new word: D, N, O, U, F, Q, T, H, P, M.
All 10 letters are unique, and none of the letters repeat in this new arrangement.


Hence, the number of repeated letters is None (0).
