Number And Alphabet Sequence - Alphabet Set

In Alphabet Series section, a string of alphabets, either in a single file or in combination form a sequence. This sequence comes together following a definite rule.

In this type of question, students are asked to find the place of an alphabet or a word based on the different types of arrangement.

Number and Alphabet Sequence - Alphabet Set

In this type of questions, generally a letter - series is given, be it the English alphabets from A to Z or randomised sequence of letters. The candidate is then required two trace the letters satisfying certain given conditions as regards their positions in the given sequence or the sequence obtained by performing certain given operations on the given sequence.

Example 1 : Answer the given question based on the following English alphabet :

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

If every alternate letter, starting with A, is removed from the alphabet, which letter among the remaining letters would be the third to the right of the fifth letter the right ?

(a)  X                 (b) V                 (c) L                 (d) J                         (e) None of these

Answer : Leaving out A, C, E, G,   .............. , W, Y, we obtain the following letter-series :

B D F H J L N P R T V X Z

Counting from the right in the above letter - series, the fifth letter is R. Counting from R, the third letter to the right is X. So, the answer is (a).

Example 2 : Directions : Each of the following questions is based on the following alphabet - series :

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

Suppose the first and the second letters of the English alphabet changed places, also the third and the fourth, the fifth and sixth, and so on. In the new alphabet, thus formed, which letter would be the 14th ?

(a) H                   (b) K                   (c) L                 (d) M

Answer (d) : The new alphabet - series is :

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

Clearly, the 14th letter in the above series is M.
