Study the following sequence and then answer the question given below:
9 H 7 Z A 9 2 B C H 3 1 X W V 5 T 4 M 6 0 Q 8 F J.
If every fourth letter/number in the above sequence starting from 7 is eliminated, which of the following will be fifth letter/number to the left of the 12th position from your right?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
9 H 7 Z A 9 2 B C H 3 1 X W V 5 T 4 M 6 0 Q 8 F J
=> Eliminating every fourth letter/number starting from 7:
1. 7 (eliminated)
2. Z (not eliminated)
3. A (not eliminated)
4. 9 (eliminated)
5. B (not eliminated)
6. C (not eliminated)
7. H (not eliminated)
8. 3 (not eliminated)
9. X (not eliminated)
10. V (not eliminated)
11. 5 (not eliminated)
12. T (not eliminated)
After elimination, the remaining sequence is:
Z A B C H 3 X V 5 T
Now, let's find the fifth letter/number to the left of the 12th position from the right:
1. Z
2. A
3. B
4. C
5. H
Thus, "H" is correct.
