Que-9 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.
Which letter is in the middle of 13th letter from the left and 4th letter from the right?
a) R       b) I       c) J     d) S

Que-10 The position of the first and sixth letters in the word CONTEXTUAL are interchanged. Similarly, the positions of the second and the seventh letters are interchanged , and so on. Which of the following will be the fourth letter from the right end after the rearrangement?
a) O      b) N       c) T     d) E

ANSWER:
1 =>  D               6 => B
2 => C                7 => B
3 => D                8 => C
4 => A                 9 => A
5 => A               10 => A


Answer1: D) M

Explanation:

9th letter from the right means (26 - 9 + 1 =) 18th letter from the left. Now, the middle letter between 18th letter from the left  and 8th letter from the left = [(18+8)/2] = 13th leter from the left = M.

Answer2: C) H

Explanation:
2nd letter to the left of 17th letter from the right means (2 + 17 = ) 19th letter from the right = (26 - 19 + 1 =) 8th letter from the left end , i.e H.  Thus, 8th letter falls into the second section of the reversed sequence. Now, the sequence FGHIJ is reversed and becomes JIHGF. Clearly, position of H remains unchanged. Hence the required letter is H.

Answer3: D) Three

Explanation:
After the rearrangement of letters, the new order of the letters is as follows:

New Order : A E I M N R T

Given word: R A I M E N T

Clearly, positions of three letters I, M and T will remain unchanged.

Answer4: A) Actuate 

Explanation:
First letters are common. Second letters are:b, c, c, c, c. One of the four words having c is the last word. Let us see the third letters now ,there are: t, c, q, h. Clearly t is the last. Hence Actuate is the last word. 

Answer5: A) H

Explanation:
If the first half of the English alphabet is reversed and the remaining part has been left undisturbed, then it becomes very easy to find out the required letters, if required letters come in the first half. According to the question, 10th to the left of 16th letter from the left = (16 - 10 =) 6th letter from the left in new series.

=>  6th letter from the left in new series = (13 + 1 - 6=) 8th letter from the left in the original series, i.e H.

Answer6: B) K

Explanation:
4th to the right of 20th letter from the right means (20 - 4 =) 16th from the right.

16th letter from the right = (26 - 16 + 1 =) 11th from the left, i.e K

Answer7: B) TNAVRESBO

Explanation:
Given word is O B S E R V A N T. After making the change as given in the question, we get the following arrangement:

T N A V R E S B O. 

Answer8: C) I

Explanation:
The given word is VITREOUS. Of which , TRSV are the consonants and IEOU are the vowels. Now, after making the changes as given in the question  we get following arrangment: RSTVEIOU.

Again from precalculation, we know that second to the right of fourth  from the left means (2+4=) 6th from the left. i.e I

Answer9: A) R

Explanation:
Find out the positions of both the letters from the left and divide the sum of the positions of both the letters from the left by 2. Here 13+23=36. Now divide 36 by 2 , i.e 18. Hence R is the required letter.

Answer10: A) O

Explanation:
Given word : CONTEXTUAL

After making changes as per given in the question , the above word becomes as follows:

XTUALCONTE . Hence, 4th letter from the right end is O.

quicker method:

    Total no of letters in the given word = 10.

    4th letter from the right means (10 - 4 + 1 =) 7th letter from the left of the word obtained after rearrangement. Again, read the question , we come to know that, the positions of the second and seventh letters are interchanged. Hence the required letter is the second letter of the given word which is O.
