Alphabet Test — “Which letter lies midway between the 8th letter from the left and the 7th letter from the right in the English alphabet?” (Positions: 8 from left = H; 7 from right = T; midpoint letter = ?)

Introduction / Context:Midpoint questions ask for the letter exactly halfway (by index) between two specified letters. We convert “from right” to a left index, then average the positions.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• 8th from left = H → L(H)=8.
• 7th from right → L = 27 − 7 = 20 → letter T.
• Midpoint means the average index (since the alphabet positions are linear).

Concept / Approach:Compute midpoint index M = (8 + 20) / 2 = 14, then map index 14 to its letter.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:List A1 … N14 … T20; N is equidistant from H(8) and T(20).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They are one step off the exact midpoint or outside the H–T interval.

Common Pitfalls:Forgetting to convert the right index first; always convert then average.

Final Answer:N
