Question

In the English alphabet, find the position of P from right:

• A. 12
• B. 13
• C. 10
• D. 11

Hint:

To find position from right, use formula: \( \text{Right position} = 27 - \text{Left position} \).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To find the position of the letter "P" from the right in the English alphabet, let's first understand the layout of the alphabet: 

Position from Left	Letter	Position from Right
1	A	26
2	B	25
3	C	24
...	...	...
16	P	11
...	...	...

As illustrated in the table, the English alphabet consists of 26 letters. The position of "P" from the left is 16. When counting from the right, the position of "P" is calculated by subtracting this position from 27 (since counting includes both ends):

\(27 - 16 = 11\)

Therefore, the position of "P" from the right is 11.

Correct Answer: 11

Option Analysis:

• 12: Incorrect. This would be the position of the letter "O," which comes before "P."
• 13: Incorrect. This would be the position of the letter "N."
• 10: Incorrect. This position corresponds to the letter "Q."
• 11: Correct. As calculated, "P" is the 11th letter from the right.

This logical arrangement helps you determine positions of any letter from either side efficiently.
