1. If the 2nd half of the English alphabet is written in reverse order, then find the 15th letter from right.
(A) K
(B) M
(C) L
(D) J
Show Answer
Correct answer: (C)
Explanation: 15th letter from the right falls in the 1st half which remains unchanged. Hence, the 15th letter has no relation with the change of the 2nd half, i.e. reverse order of the last 13 letters of the English alphabet. Hence required 15th letter from right = (27-15)th = 12th letter from left = L.
2. If the English alphabet is written in backward order, then which letter will be 5th to the letter M?
(A) S
(B) R
(C) H
(D) G
Show Answer
Correct answer: (D)
Explanation: 5th letter to the left of M in the backward order = 5th to the right of M in the forward order = (13+5)th letter in the forward order =18th letter. Hence the position of M in forward order = 13. And 18th letter in the forward order = R.
3. All the English alphabets are arranged alphabetically in reverse order. The difference in the position of two vowels which appear in the beginning and in the end is.
(A) 16
(B) 18
(C) 12
(D) 6
(E) None of these
Show Answer
Correct answer: (E)
Explanation: Reverse order of the English alphabet is as follows:
Z Y X W V U6th T S R Q P O12th N M L K J I18th H G F E22th D C B A26th
The vowel that appears at beginning of the new arrangement = U
U’s position in the above arrangement = 6 and the vowel that appear at the end in the new arrangement = A. A’s position in the above arrangement = 26. Hence required difference = 26-6 = 20.
4. In the following letter series, how many BCN occur in such a way that C is in the middle and B and N are on any one side?
B C M X N C X N B X N C B N C B Y B C X N B C N A B O N M Z C B
(A) 3
(B) 5
(C) 4
(D) 2
Show Answer
Correct answer: (A)
Explanation: B C M X N C X N B X NCB NCB Y B C X N BCN A B O N M Z C B
So, 3 ‘BCN’ occur in such a way, that C is in the middle and B and N are on any one side.
