Answer
Correct Answer: O
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This is a two-step indexing problem: find a reference letter by left index, then shift right by a fixed amount. Right means towards Z.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- 7th from the left is G (A1 … G7).
- “8th to the right of G” means add 8 to G’s left index.
Concept / Approach:Compute the left index after the right shift and read off the resulting letter.
Step-by-Step Solution:
L(G) = 7.7 + 8 = 15.The 15th letter is O.Verification / Alternative check:Walk stepwise: G→H(1), I(2), J(3), K(4), L(5), M(6), N(7), O(8). Lands on O.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They correspond to different offsets from G.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing “to the right of” with “from the right.” They are different ideas.
Final Answer:O
