Read the following arrangement carefully and answer the question given below
A B 3 D 4 C 9 O & Q Y X ★ N M K 8 Q R G
Which of the above is exactly in the middle of 9 and 8.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → X
The middle of two elements is found by counting the elements that lie between them. If that count is odd, one element stands in the middle, with as many elements on its left as on its right.
Counting from the left, 9 is the 7th element and 8 is the 17th.
Between them lie the 8th to the 16th elements: O, &, Q, Y, X, ★, N, M, K, that is, 9 elements.
The middle one of 9 is the 5th, with 4 on each side: O, &, Q, Y before it and ★, N, M, K after it. The 5th is X.
