Alphabet Test — “Find the middle letter between the 4th and the 16th letters in the English alphabet.” (Positions: 4 → D; 16 → P; midpoint = ?)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: J

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
A straightforward midpoint problem with both positions given from the left. Average indices to get the middle letter.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • L=4 → D.
  • L=16 → P.


Concept / Approach:
Midpoint index M = (4 + 16)/2 = 10; L=10 is J.


Step-by-Step Solution:

Compute (4 + 16)/2 = 10.Map index 10 → J.


Verification / Alternative check:
D→J is 6 steps; J→P is also 6 steps, confirming the midpoint.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They sit one step to either side (I/K/L) or further.


Common Pitfalls:
Counting letters instead of positions; averaging indices is faster and safer.


Final Answer:
J
