Alphabet Test — “Which letter comes in the middle of the 20th letter from the left and the 21st letter from the right?” (Convert right index first; then find midpoint.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: M

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
We mix left and right indexing. Convert the right index to a left index, then take the midpoint of the two left indices.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • 20th from left → T (L=20).
  • 21st from right → L = 27 − 21 = 6 → F.


Concept / Approach:
Midpoint index M = (20 + 6)/2 = 13; identify the 13th letter.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Convert right index to L: 27 − 21 = 6.Average 20 and 6 → 13.L=13 corresponds to M.


Verification / Alternative check:
Alphabet positions A1 … M13 … T20 show M equidistant from F(6) and T(20).


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are neighbors of the midpoint or beyond.


Common Pitfalls:
Failing to convert from right before averaging; that yields wrong values.


Final Answer:
M
