Question

Observe the series given below carefully and answer the question that follows: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ If the last ten letters of the series are written in the reverse order, which of the following will be the sixth to the right of the thirteenth letter from the left end?

• A. X
• B. W
• C. G
• D. V
• E. Y

Hint:

When modifying only a portion of the series, reconstruct the entire series and then find the required position.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Original series: A to Z. Last ten letters: Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z.
Step 2: Reverse the last ten: Z,Y,X,W,V,U,T,S,R,Q. The rest of the series (first 16 letters) remain same: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P.
Step 3: New series: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Z Y X W V U T S R Q.
Step 4: Thirteenth letter from left end: A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, K=11, L=12, M=13. So 13th letter is M.
Step 5: Sixth to the right of M: M is at position 13. Sixth to right = position 13 + 6 = position 19. Position 19 in new series: A=1,B=2,C=3,D=4,E=5,F=6,G=7,H=8,I=9,J=10,K=11,L=12,M=13,N=14,O=15,P=16,Z=17,Y=18,X=19,W=20,V=21,U=22,T=23,S=24,R=25,Q=26. Position 19 is X.
Step 6: Final Answer: X.
