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: Understanding the Concept:
Combining directional movements in a reversed alphabet string.
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach:
In reversed series (Z...A): "k-th from right" = k-th in normal order.
"Left of k-th from right" = (k + shift) from right.
Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
1. Ninth letter from the right in reversed series = Ninth letter from left in normal series = I (9th).
2. Move 5 letters to the left of I in the reversed series.
3. In (Z...A), moving Left means moving towards Z (increasing index in normal A...Z).
4. Position = 9 + 5 = 14th letter.
5. 14th letter = N.
Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct letter is N.
