PROBLEMS BASED ON ALPHABET

Generally in Alphabetical questions a letter series is given in the English alphabets from A to Z. We have to find out the letters satisfying certain given conditions as regards their positions in the given sequence.

Some Models

 Directions : Following questions are based on the general English alphabet series.
  AB C D E F G H I J K LM N O P Q R S T U VW X Y Z

 

* If the first five letters of English alphabet are reversed and then next six letters are reversed, again next five letters are reversed, again next six letters are reversed, again last four letters are reversed, then which letter will be 11th to the right of 4th from the left?

            (I)        (II)       (III)      (IV)    Reversed
       18th letter of the given series comes in section (1)
       = 12th from the left in English alphabet i.e., L. 2(I)+2(II)+(III)+1−18 = 12.

           (I)      (II)     (III)     (IV)
            25 - (7 + 6 + 5);
            = 25 - 18;
            = 7; G is the required letter.

          (12 - 18): Both half has been reversed.
          M L K J I H G F E D C B A Z Y X WV U T S R Q P O N
         

Directions: If the first half of the English alphabet is reversed and then next portion of English alphabet is reversed so as 'A' takes the position of 'M' and 'N' takes the position of 'Z' then answer the following questions.
              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

      1) U       2) V      3) C        4) D        5) None of these
Ans: 2.
Hint: We have to count from the left and we have to find out 18th element from the left. Suppose first and second sections of the English alphabet is α and β respectively.
   2 α + β + 1 − required position of element from the left
           26 + 13 + 1 − 18 = 22; i.e V

Hint: Here we have to count from the right. We have to find out 12th letter from the right, means 15th letter from the left.
           = 2α +β +15 = 25. Hence 25th letter of the alphabet is Y.
