NIMCET 2015 — Reasoning PYQ

Step 1: Write letters A to M with spaces

As per the instruction, we write $A$ to $M$ and leave a blank space between each letter:

$A,\_,B,\_,C,\_,D,\_,E,\_,F,\_,G,\_,H,\_,I,\_,J,\_,K,\_,L,\_,M$

Step 2: Fill the spaces with letters N to Z

Now, we insert the remaining letters ($N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y$) into those spaces and end with $Z$ after $M$.

The new arrangement becomes:

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26
Letter	A	N	B	O	C	P	D	Q	E	R	F	S	G	T	H	U	I	V	J	W	K	X	L	Y	M	Z

Step 3: Find the required position

The question asks for the letter that is $3^{\text{rd}}$ to the right of the $7^{\text{th}}$ letter from the left.

• $7^{\text{th}}$ letter from the left is D.

• $3^{\text{rd}}$ to the right of $D$ means the $(7+3)=10^{\text{th}}$ letter from the left.

Looking at our table:

• The $10^{\text{th}}$ letter is R.

Conclusion:

The letter $3^{\text{rd}}$ to the right of the $7^{\text{th}}$ letter from the left is R.

Correct Option: (c) R
