Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: K
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Converting a right-side index to a letter is easiest using the standard identity for a 26-letter alphabet: R + L = 27. With R known, compute L and then read off the letter at position L from the left.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Compute left index L from R: L = 27 - R. Then map L to the letter counting from A=1.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Direct right counting: Z(1), Y(2), X(3), W(4), V(5), U(6), T(7), S(8), R(9), Q(10), P(11), O(12), N(13), M(14), L(15), K(16). Matches K.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They correspond to different right indices (e.g., L is 15th from right, J is 17th from right).
Common Pitfalls:
Off-by-one mistakes; always compute via L = 27 - R to confirm.
Final Answer:
K
