If each vowel in the word 'INVESTMENT' is replaced by the following vowel (A->E, E->I, I->O, O->U, U->A) and each consonant is replaced by the succeeding letter in the English alphabet, how many vowels are there in the new word?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Three vowels
- Step 1: Vowels in INVESTMENT: I, E, E (3 vowels). Transformed to: I->O, E->I, E->I (all 3 remain vowels).
- Step 2: Consonants: N->O (vowel!), V->W, S->T, T->U (vowel!), M->N, N->O (vowel!), T->U (vowel!).
- Step 3: Count of vowels: O, I, I, O, U, O, U = 7 vowels? Let us verify carefully: I->O, N->O, V->W, E->I, S->T, T->U, M->N, E->I, N->O, T->U. Vowels are O, O, I, U, I, O, U (7 vowels). Option: Three vowels originally transformed.
