13.   In the following series which should be the seventh letter to the right of the 18^th letter from the right, if the second half of the alphabet is reversed?

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

a)      X                     b)  W                     c)  Y                        d)  L

Ans: (a)

(A little confusing question. The 18^th letter in the series is ‘R’. When the second half of the alphabet ie from N to Z is reversed, then ‘R’ becomes the ninth letter in the reverse order. Now, the seventh letter to the right of ‘R’ in the reverse order is ‘X’
