The digits and numbers from 1 to 12 represented by the dial of a clock are replaced by the letter of English alphabet. The replacement is started with the letter C. Find the letter which is represented by 9 O'clock. Consider hour hand only.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → K
The letters replace the dial numbers in order, starting with C at 1, so the number on the dial tells how many letters to count from C.
1 → C, 2 → D, 3 → E, 4 → F, 5 → G, 6 → H
7 → I, 8 → J, 9 → K
At 9 o’clock the hour hand points to 9, which now shows K. (C is the 3rd letter, so the number \(n\) on the dial gets the \((n+2)\)th letter; for 9 that is the 11th letter, K.)
