 Each of the following questions is based on the following alphabet series: 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 alphabet is written in the reverse order and every alternate letter starting with Y is dropped, which letter will be exactly in the middle of the remaining letters of the alphabet?


A) M

B) N

C) O

D) M or O

E) None of these

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Writing the given alphabet in reverse order we have:

Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A

Cancelling every second letter, the new series become

Z X V T P N L J H F D B

There are 13 letters in the above series.So, the middle letter is the seventh letter.
