Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Only G and Q

Solution :

The correct option is Only G and Q.


Step-by-step Explanation:


Let's process the given word PERFECTION according to the specified rules:


1. Identify the Vowels and Consonants in the word PERFECTION:

• Consonants: P, R, F, C, T, N

• Vowels: E, I, O


2. Apply the given transformations:

Vowels: Change to their second succeeding letter (+2 in alphabetical series).

Consonants: Change to their just preceding letter (-1 in alphabetical series).


3. Transforming each letter one by one:

P (Consonant) → P - 1 = O

E (Vowel) → E + 2 = G

R (Consonant) → R - 1 = Q

F (Consonant) → F - 1 = E

E (Vowel) → E + 2 = G

C (Consonant) → C - 1 = B

T (Consonant) → T - 1 = S

I (Vowel) → I + 2 = K

O (Vowel) → O + 2 = Q

N (Consonant) → N - 1 = M


4. Form the new set of letters:

The transformed word becomes: O G Q E G B S K Q M


5. Check for repeated letters in the new sequence:

• Letter G appears 2 times.

• Letter Q appears 2 times.

• All other letters (O, E, B, S, K, M) appear only once.


Therefore, the letters that are repeated are Only G and Q.
