Question

If the first and the second letters of the word MISJUDGEMENTS are interchanged with the last and the second last letters respectively, and similarly the third and the fourth letters are interchanged with the third and the fourth letters from the last respectively , and so on,then what will be the fifth letter to the right of the third letter from the left end?

• A. E
• B. G
• C. D
• D. T

Answer 1

The correct option is C D

M	I	S	J	U	D	G	E	M	E	N	T	S
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13

The alphabet series is shown in the above diagram with positions.

Now, with the required interchange in positions, as the question says, we get following letters interchanged

$1st\to 13th$

$2nd\to 12th$

$3rd\to 11th$

$4th\to 10th$

$5th\to 9th$

$6th\to 8th$

$7th\to 7th$

Using above mentioned interchange we get complete reversal of the letters of this word. which is:

STNEMEGDUJSIM

Here Third letter from the left end is N. According to the question,

$\Rightarrow (5+3)$th letter from the left $\Rightarrow 8$th letter from the left}

Hence, $8$th letter from the left end is D.
