ALPHABETS

In the previous articles, we discussed in the detail the hierarchy in which a candidate should attempt in the examinations to ensure maximum marks in less time. The next topic in that hierarchy is "problems on Alphabets". Individual questions each of 1 mark will be given from this topic particularly in the prelims. There is every chance of getting 2 to 3 questions from this topic. In this article, we are going to discuss those models that are important for prelims examination.
