Step 1: Reverse the Second Half
The alphabet has 26 letters. The first half is A to M (1–13) and the second half is N to Z (14–26).
-
First Half (Normal): A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M
-
Second Half (Reversed): Z,Y,X,W,V,U,T,S,R,Q,P,O,N
The new sequence looks like this:
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,Z,Y,X,W,V,U,T,S,R,Q,P,O,N
Step 2: Find the Target Position
The question asks for the 7th letter to the right of the 12th letter from the left.
In linear arrangement logic:
Target Position=Left Position+Right Shift
We need to find the 19th letter from the left in our new sequence.
Step 3: Identify the Letter
Since the first 13 letters are unchanged, the 19th letter falls into the reversed second half.
We can calculate its position in the reversed section:
Position in second half=19−13=6
The 6th letter in the reversed sequence (Z,Y,X,W,V,U,…) is:
-
Z (14th total)
-
Y (15th total)
-
X (16th total)
-
W (17th total)
-
V (18th total)
-
U (19th total)
Final Answer: The letter is U.
