Alphabet Test — “Which letter will be midway between the 6th letter from the left and the 14th letter from the left in the English alphabet?” (Positions: 6 → F; 14 → N; midpoint = ?)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: J

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Both reference letters are given by left indices. The midpoint letter is the one at the average of their positions.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • L=6 → F; L=14 → N.
  • Midpoint index M = (6 + 14)/2.

Concept / Approach:Compute M and map to the letter.

Step-by-Step Solution:

M = (6 + 14)/2 = 10.The 10th letter is J.

Verification / Alternative check:Sequence from F to N has 8 steps; 4 steps from either side lands on J.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They sit one place to either side of the exact midpoint or outside the range.

Common Pitfalls:Using integer division incorrectly when the sum is odd; here it is even, so midpoint is exact.

Final Answer:J
