Alphabet Test Questions and Answers

Q: 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 Which letter is the seventh to the right of the thirteenth letter from your left ?

Correct answer: TThe thirteenth letter from the left is M.Counting seven to the right of M, and not counting M itself: N, O, P, Q, R, S, T. The answer is T.The convention matters and is used consistently in this set: "seventh to the right" means seven steps beyond the letter named, so the count begins with the next letter rather than with the letter itself.

Q: 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 Which letter is sixteenth to the right of the letter which is fourth to the left of I ?

Correct answer: UWork inwards from the innermost description. Four to the left of I: H, G, F, E - so the reference letter is E, the 5th of the alphabet.Sixteen to the right of E is the 21st letter:\[ 5 + 16 = 21 \rightarrow U \]Doing the arithmetic on the position numbers is faster and safer than counting letters twice, and it makes the two steps independent of each other.

Q: 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 Which letter will be the sixth to the right of the eleventh letter from the right end of the alphabet ?

Correct answer: VCount from the right end first. Z is 1st, so the 11th from the right is at position\[ 26 - 11 + 1 = 16 \rightarrow P \]Six to the right of P is position 22:\[ 16 + 6 = 22 \rightarrow V \]The formula for counting from the right - 27 minus the count - avoids the off-by-one that catches most attempts at this kind of question.

Q: 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 ?

Correct answer: wThe 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.

Which letter is sixteenth to the right of the letter which is fourth to the left of I ?

Answer: C

Correct answer: U

Work inwards from the innermost description. Four to the left of I: H, G, F, E - so the reference letter is E, the 5th of the alphabet.

Sixteen to the right of E is the 21st letter:

\[ 5 + 16 = 21 \rightarrow U \]

Doing the arithmetic on the position numbers is faster and safer than counting letters twice, and it makes the two steps independent of each other.

Which letter will be the sixth to the right of the eleventh letter from the right end of the alphabet ?

Answer: C

Correct answer: V

Count from the right end first. Z is 1st, so the 11th from the right is at position

\[ 26 - 11 + 1 = 16 \rightarrow P \]

Six to the right of P is position 22:

\[ 16 + 6 = 22 \rightarrow V \]

The formula for counting from the right - 27 minus the count - avoids the off-by-one that catches most attempts at this kind of question.

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 ?

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.
