In the following alphabet second half is written first and then the first half is arranged in reverse order. Then which of the following will be the 5th letter to the left of 16th letter from the right?
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
Answer: A
Correct answer: S
Build the rearranged alphabet first. The second half comes first, then the first half reversed:
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z M L K J I H G F E D C B A
Counting from the right, A is 1st, so the 16th from the right is X, which stands at position 11 from the left. The 5th letter to the left of X is at position 6: counting W, V, U, T, S gives S.
The count excludes X itself, which is the convention used throughout this set of questions.
