Question

Observe the series given below carefully and answer the question that follows: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ If the series is written in the reverse order, then determine that which will be the fifth letter to the left of the ninth letter from the right?

• A. M
• B. W
• C. O
• D. N
• E. L

Hint:

"Left" means towards the beginning of the series, "right" means towards the end. In a reversed series, be careful with orientation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Reverse order: Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A.
Step 2: Ninth letter from the right means 9th from the end. In reverse order, the right end is A. 9th from right: Count from right: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E, 6F, 7G, 8H, 9I. So ninth from right is I.
Step 3: Fifth letter to the left of I: In reverse order, I is at position? Let's list positions: 1Z,2Y,3X,4W,5V,6U,7T,8S,9R,10Q,11P,12O,13N,14M,15L,16K,17J,18I,19H,20G,21F,22E,23D,24C,25B,26A. I is at position 18. Fifth to the left = position 18 - 5 = position 13. Position 13 is N.
Step 4: Final Answer: N.
