    This question is based on the following 3-letter words.
    (left) ROW MAD LAY CAT (right)
    If in each of the words. each letter is changed to the next letter in the English alphabetical order. how many words thus formed will have no vowel?

    A.

    One

    B.

    None

    C.

    Three

    D.

    Two

    Correct option is D

    ​​
    We are given the words: ROW, MAD, LAY, CAT
    Step 1: Change each letter to the next letter in the English alphabetical order.
    For each word, apply this transformation:
    ROW
    R→S, O→P, W→ X
    New word: SPX
    MAD
    M→N, A→B, D→ E
    New word: NBE
    LAY
    L→M, A→B, Y→ Z
    New word: MBZ
    CAT
    C→D, A→B, T→ U
    New word: DBU
    The vowels in English are: A, E, I, O, U.
    SPX: No vowels → Valid
    NBE: Contains E → Not valid
    MBZ: No vowels → Valid
    DBU: Contains U → Not valid
    The words without vowels are SPX and MBZ. Thus, there are 2 such words.
    Thus, correct option is (d).
