The following question is based on the following alphabet series.
A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M
N  O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z
If the above alphabet are divided in two equal halves -- from A to M and N to Z, which letter in the later half would be corresponding to the letter J ?

  • A.X
  • B.w
  • C.Q
  • D.V

Answer: B

Correct answer: w

The halves are A to M and N to Z, thirteen letters each, so a letter's position within its own half is what corresponds.

J is the 10th letter of the first half. The 10th letter of the second half is

\[ 13 + 10 = 23 \rightarrow W \]

Counting within the half rather than from A is the step the question is testing, and it works because the two halves are of equal length.
