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 first half of the given alphabets are written in reverse order which letter should be 8th letter to the left of 14th letter from the right?

A) E B) G
C) J D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of these

Explanation:

8th letter of the left of 14th letter from the right means (8 + 14 =) 22nd letter from the right. 22nd letter from the right means (26 - 22 + 1 =) 5th letter from the left.  We know that 5th letter falls into the first half of the series which is reversed.

Hence, the required letter is (13 - 5 + 1 =) 9th letter from the left of the English alphabet.

From the given conditions, we have
=> k - 10 = l + 10 .......(1)
=> k + 20 = 2(l - 20) ....(2)

Solving these eqns, we get
