Sol. In this new pattern, input-output questions are presented with only one word and one number at each step. Let’s understand the logic behind it – in each step the words are arranged from the left end and the numbers from the right end.
For words- words are arranged in alphabetical order (English dictionary) with each vowel of the word from the left end replaced by its opposite letter alphabetically, while each consonant of the word remains unchanged and the same is carried forward. Next steps.
For Numbers- The numbers are arranged in descending order from the right end in such a way that each number is replaced by the square of the difference of the two digits of that number.
