Question 1

If A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, and so on, what is the sum of the positional values of the letters in the word 'CAB'?

Accepted Answer

Using the given coding: C = 3, A = 1, B = 2. Sum = 3 + 1 + 2 = 6.

Question 2

If the letters of the English alphabet are written in reverse order, which letter will be the 7th letter from the left?

Accepted Answer

In reverse order, the alphabet becomes Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A. Counting 7 positions from the left: Z(1), Y(2), X(3), W(4), V(5), U(6), T(7). The answer is T.

Question 3

If the letters of the English alphabet are written in reverse order (Z, Y, X, W, ..., C, B, A), then which letter will be the 7th letter from the left?

Accepted Answer

In the reverse alphabet sequence starting from Z, the 7th position from the left is counted as: Z(1st), Y(2nd), X(3rd), W(4th), V(5th), U(6th), T(7th). Therefore, T is the answer.

Question 4

In the English alphabet, how many letters are there between M and W (excluding both M and W)?

Accepted Answer

The alphabet sequence from M to W is: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W. Excluding M and W, the letters between them are: N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V. That is 9 letters.

Question 5

If you count from A to Z, and then reverse the count from Z to A, which letter appears at the same position in both sequences?

Accepted Answer

In the forward sequence (A to Z), each letter is at its natural position. In the reverse sequence (Z to A), Z is at position 1, Y at position 2, etc. The middle letter N is at position 14 in both sequences. A is at position 1 forward and position 26 reverse; Z is at position 26 forward and position 1 reverse. Only the middle letter N remains at position 14 in both.

Question 6

Starting from the 5th letter of the alphabet, if you skip every 2nd letter, which letter will you land on after skipping 3 times?

Accepted Answer

Start at E (5th letter). Skip every 2nd letter: Skip F, land on G (1st skip). Skip H, land on I (2nd skip). Skip J, land on K (3rd skip). The answer is K.

Question 7

In a certain code, the alphabet is written in reverse order. If the 5th letter from the left in the normal alphabet is E, what will be the 5th letter from the left in the reverse-coded alphabet?

Accepted Answer

In the normal alphabet, the 5th letter from the left is E. When the entire alphabet is reversed, the positions flip: A becomes Z, B becomes Y, C becomes X, D becomes W, E becomes V. Therefore, the 5th position from the left in the reversed alphabet is V.

Question 8

How many letters are there between the letters D and M in the English alphabet (not including D and M)?

Accepted Answer

The English alphabet from D to M is: D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M. Excluding D and M, the letters between them are: E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L. That is 8 letters.

Question 9

If you write the alphabet from Z to A (reverse order), which letter will be at the 7th position from the right?

Accepted Answer

Writing the alphabet in reverse: Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A. The 7th position from the right means counting 7 positions starting from A (the rightmost): A(1), B(2), C(3), D(4), E(5), F(6), G(7). The answer is G.

Question 10

In the English alphabet, if every alternate letter starting from B is removed, which letter will be at the 6th position in the remaining sequence?

Accepted Answer

Starting from B and removing every alternate letter: Remove B, keep C, remove D, keep E, remove F, keep G, remove H, keep I, remove J, keep K, remove L, keep M... The remaining sequence is: C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, S, U, W, Y. The 6th position in this sequence is M.

Question 11

If the alphabet is divided into two halves—first half (A to M) and second half (N to Z)—and each half is reversed independently, what will be the 3rd letter from the left in the modified alphabet?

Accepted Answer

First half (A to M) reversed: M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A. Second half (N to Z) reversed: Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N. Combined modified alphabet: M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, Z, Y, X, W, V, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N. The 3rd letter from the left is K.

Question 12

In the English alphabet, if every alternate letter starting from B is removed, and then the remaining letters are reversed, which letter will be at the 7th position from the left in the final sequence?

Accepted Answer

This question tests sequential elimination of letters based on a pattern, followed by reversal and positional identification.

Question 13

If the first half of the English alphabet is written in reverse order and the second half is written in normal order, and then the entire sequence is reversed, which letter occupies the 15th position?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to apply multiple sequential transformations to the alphabet and track position changes through each step.

Question 14

In a certain code language, the positions of letters in the English alphabet are used to form a pattern. If we reverse the alphabet (Z=1, Y=2, X=3, ... A=26) and then apply the following rule: 'For every consonant, add 3 to its reversed position value; for every vowel, subtract 2 from its reversed position value', what will be the code value for the word 'BRIGHT'?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to work with reverse alphabet mapping, apply conditional rules based on letter type (vowel/consonant), and perform accurate arithmetic across multiple letters.

Question 15

In a modified alphabet where every consonant is replaced by the letter that comes 3 positions after it, and every vowel is replaced by the letter that comes 2 positions before it, what is the 4th letter of the modified word for 'STRENGTH'?

Accepted Answer

This question tests selective substitution rules applied to different letter categories and accurate position identification in the resulting word.

Question 16

In a certain code, the positions of letters in the English alphabet are reversed (A=26, B=25, C=24, ... Z=1). If the word 'REASONING' is coded using this system, what is the sum of the coded values of the 2nd, 5th, and 8th letters of the coded word?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to apply reverse alphabet coding and identify specific positions within a word, then perform arithmetic operations.
