Q:

If the position of the first letter of English alphabet is interchanged with the position of the fourteenth letter, second letter with fifteenth letter, and so on, in such a way that M is interchanged with Z, then which of the following letters will be 7th to the right of 13th letter from the right?

A) U B) G
C) H D) I
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) H

Explanation:

It means that the first half of the alphabet is interchanged with second half of the alphabet. After making changes, nth letter from the left will be (n + 13)th letter of original series, ie English alphabet; If n is less than 14. But if n is more than 13, nth letter from left will be (n - 13)th letter from left.
In the given equation, we have to find out (13 - 7 =) 6th letter from right => (26 - 6 + 1 =) 21st letter from the left. Hence, required letter's position is more than 13; therefore the required letter is (21 - 13 =) 8th letter from left of original series, ie H.

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.
