Question

In the English alphabet, the first 4 letters are written in opposite order; and the next 4 letters are written in opposite order and so on; and at the end Y and Z are interchanged.

Which will be the fourth letter to the right of the 13th letter?

Accepted Answer

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

1.  Reorder the alphabet based on the given rules:
    *   Original: 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
    *   First 4 reversed: D C B A
    *   Next 4 reversed: H G F E
    *   Next 4 reversed: L K J I
    *   Next 4 reversed: P O N M
    *   Next 4 reversed: T S R Q
    *   Next 4 reversed: X W V U
    *   Last 2 interchanged: Z Y

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

2.  Identify the 13th letter in this new sequence:
    1st: D
    2nd: C
    3rd: B
    4th: A
    5th: H
    6th: G
    7th: F
    8th: E
    9th: L
    10th: K
    11th: J
    12th: I
    13th: P

The 13th letter is P.

3.  Find the fourth letter to the right of the 13th letter (P):
    Starting from P, move four positions to the right in the new sequence:
    1st to the right of P: O
    2nd to the right of P: N
    3rd to the right of P: M
    4th to the right of P: T

The fourth letter to the right of P is T.

4.  Compare with options:
    The calculated letter is T, which matches option B.

The final answer is B) T.
