 | Rishika Tiwari answered |
Let's analyze each option to determine which letter series has an odd number of letters skipped between adjacent letters.
Option 1: MPRUX
- M to P: 2 letters skipped (N, O) — Even
- P to R: 1 letter skipped (Q) — Odd
- R to U: 2 letters skipped (S, T) — Even
- U to X: 2 letters skipped (V, W) — Even
- This series does not have all odd skips. So, not correct.
Option 2: FIMRX
- F to I: 2 letters skipped (G, H) — Even
- I to M: 3 letters skipped (J, K, L) — Odd
- M to R: 4 letters skipped (N, O, P, Q) — Even
- R to X: 5 letters skipped (S, T, U, V, W) — Odd
- This series has a mix of odd and even skips. So, not correct.
Option 3: EIMQV
- E to I: 3 letters skipped (F, G, H) — Odd
- I to M: 3 letters skipped (J, K, L) — Odd
- M to Q: 3 letters skipped (N, O, P) — Odd
- Q to V: 4 letters skipped (R, S, T, U) — Even
- This series also has a mix of odd and even skips. So, not correct.
Option 4: BDHLR
- B to D: 1 letter skipped (C) — Odd
- D to H: 3 letters skipped (E, F, G) — Odd
- H to L: 3 letters skipped (I, J, K) — Odd
- L to R: 5 letters skipped (M, N, O, P, Q) — Odd
- All skips between letters in this series are odd.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is Option 4: BDHLR, as it is the only series where the number of letters skipped between adjacent letters is consistently odd.

Reversing only the first 13 letters, we obtain the following letter series:
M L K J I H G F E D C B A N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.
Clearly, there are 14 letters between K and R in the above series.
M L K J I H G F E D C B A N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.
Clearly, there are 14 letters between K and R in the above series.

Understanding the Problem
In the given series, we need to identify the occurrences of the number 8 that are exactly divisible by both the numbers immediately before and after them.
Series Breakdown
The series is:
2, 8, 4, 3, 8, 5, 4, 8, 2, 6, 7, 8, 4, 6, 2, 8, 4, 1, 7
Identifying Relevant 8's
We will analyze each occurrence of the number 8:
- First 8 (2, 8, 4)
- Preceding number: 2
- Succeeding number: 4
- 8 is divisible by 2 (8 ÷ 2 = 4) and by 4 (8 ÷ 4 = 2).
- Valid 8
- Second 8 (3, 8, 5)
- Preceding number: 3
- Succeeding number: 5
- 8 is not divisible by 3 (8 ÷ 3 = 2.67) and not divisible by 5 (8 ÷ 5 = 1.6).
- Invalid 8
- Third 8 (4, 8, 2)
- Preceding number: 4
- Succeeding number: 2
- 8 is divisible by 4 (8 ÷ 4 = 2) and by 2 (8 ÷ 2 = 4).

 | Shreya Sarkar answered |
The new letter series obtained on reversing the order of the English alphabet is
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A.
Since the series has an even number of letters there is no such letter which lies exactly in the middle.
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A.
Since the series has an even number of letters there is no such letter which lies exactly in the middle.

Distance Calculation:
The distance between two letters in the alphabet can be calculated by counting the number of letters between them.
Distance between T and M:
T is 5 letters away from M in the alphabet. (M, N, O, P, Q, T)
Distance between G and the letter:
To find a letter that is as far from G as T is from M, we need to find a letter that is also 5 letters away from G.
Finding the letter:
Starting from G, we count 5 letters ahead which gives us the letter N. (G, H, I, J, K, N)
Therefore, the letter that is as far from G as T is from M is N.

 | Priya Pillai answered |
Explanation:
- Given: Ravi is 13th from the back and Amar is 12th from the front.
- Let's assume there are 'x' boys in the queue.
- So, the position of Hari will be (x - 12) from the back and (x - 13) from the front.
- Since Hari is standing between Ravi and Amar, we have:
- (x - 13) - Ravi's position = Ravi's position - 1
- Ravi's position - (x - 12) = Amar's position - 1
- Solving the equations, we get Ravi's position as 13 and Amar's position as 14.
- Therefore, the minimum number of boys standing in the queue should be 14.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' (14 boys).

 | Ashutosh Chaudhary answered |
Understanding the Rankings
Naresh ranks 5th in his class. This means there are 4 students ahead of him.
Vikas's Position
Vikas is 8th from the last. To find his actual position in the class, we need to know the total number of students. If we denote the total number of students as "N", then Vikas's position can be expressed as:
- Vikas's position = N - 7 (since he is 8th from the last)
Raju's Position
Raju ranks 6th after Naresh. Since Naresh is 5th, Raju would be:
- Raju's position = 5 + 6 = 11th
Middle Ranking
Raju is also stated to be in the middle of Naresh and Vikas. The middle position can be calculated as:
- Middle position = (Naresh's position + Vikas's position) / 2
This means:
- 11 = (5 + (N - 7)) / 2
Calculating the Total Students
To find N, we solve the equation:
1. Rearrange:
- 11 = (5 + N - 7) / 2
- 11 = (N - 2) / 2
2. Multiply both sides by 2:
- 22 = N - 2
3. Add 2 to both sides:
- N = 24
Conclusion
Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 24. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B'.

Raju ranks 6th after Naresh. Since Naresh is 5th, Raju would be:
- Raju's position = 5 + 6 = 11th
Middle Ranking
Raju is also stated to be in the middle of Naresh and Vikas. The middle position can be calculated as:
- Middle position = (Naresh's position + Vikas's position) / 2
This means:
- 11 = (5 + (N - 7)) / 2
Calculating the Total Students
To find N, we solve the equation:
1. Rearrange:
- 11 = (5 + N - 7) / 2
- 11 = (N - 2) / 2
2. Multiply both sides by 2:
- 22 = N - 2
3. Add 2 to both sides:
- N = 24
Conclusion
Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 24. Thus, the correct answer is option 'B'.
