Direction: Study the following alphabetical sequence and answer the question based on it.
If we write the letters of the above series in the reverse order, which letter is the middlemost?
- AK
- BV
- CR
- DA
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's count the total number of letters in the given sequence:
The total number of letters in the series is .
The position of the middlemost letter in an odd-numbered series is given by:
When a series is reversed, the letter from the start becomes the letter from the end. Since is the absolute center of a sequence of length , the middlemost letter remains the same whether counted from the left or the right.
Counting to the letter from the left end of the original sequence:
* to : G, A, G, H, U
* to : T, A, A, K, H
* to : G, A, O, Y, Y
* to : D, K, K, V
The letter is V.
