Question 4

If the first half of the following series is reversed, then which item is 6th to the left of the 4th item from the right side? The series is:

2 R K 9 Y C P M T 4 O $ 5 Q F S A E @ 6

5

 D

2

Soln.
Ans: D

Midpoint is 10. We have to find 20 - 4 - 6 = 10 + 1th item from the left side. Since the location lies in the left half, the sequence has been reversed in this zone. So the item will be at location 10 - 10 = 0 + 1 from the left in the original series. Which means the item is: 2.
