Which letter will be sixth to the left of the nineteenth letter from the right end, in the following alphabets series. 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 |
M Y N B |
B |
In this case, we are looking for the sixth to the left of the nineteenth from the right. Since "Left" and "Right" are opposite directions, we add the positions. 1. Combine the positions: 19 (from right)+6 (to the left)=25th letter from the right end
2. Convert "Right end" to "Left end": Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, the formula to find the position from the left is: Position from Left=(Total letters+1)−Position from Right
Position from Left=(26+1)−25=2nd letter from the left
3. Identify the letter: The 2nd letter from the left in the English alphabet (A, B, C...) is B. Hence, Option 4 that is B is the answer OR Total letters = 26 19th letter from the right = 26−19+1=8th letter from the left 8th letter = H 6 letters to the left of H: H → G (1), F (2), E (3), D (4), C (5), B (6) Hence, Option 4 that is B is the answer
