If the English alphabets are written in reverse order after interchang...
Introduction:
To solve the given problem, we need to rearrange the English alphabets in reverse order after interchanging alphabets from C to M with those from P to Z respectively. After rearranging, we need to find the letter that would be midway between F and T in the new order.
Step 1: Rearranging the Alphabets:
Let's rearrange the alphabets according to the given instructions:
Original Order: 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
Interchanged Order: A B P Q R S T U V W X Y Z J K L M N O C D E F G H I
Reversed Order: I H G F E D C O N M L K J Z Y X W V U T S R Q P B A
Step 2: Finding the Midway Letter:
To find the letter that is midway between F and T, we need to first identify the positions of F and T in the new order.
The position of F in the new order is 7 (counting from the beginning), and the position of T is 19.
Since there are a total of 26 letters in the English alphabet, the midway position would be (19 + 7) / 2 = 13.
Step 3: Identifying the Midway Letter:
Now, we need to identify the letter at the 13th position in the new order.
Starting from the beginning of the new order, we count 13 letters:
I H G F E D C O N M L K J Z Y X W V U T S R Q P B A
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
The 13th letter is L.
Therefore, the letter that is midway between F and T in the new order is L.
Conclusion:
After rearranging the English alphabets in reverse order after interchanging alphabets from C to M with those from P to Z respectively, the letter that is midway between F and T in the new order is L.
