18th
from left. In the altered arrangement the
18th and 20th letters will interchange
their positions. So the required letter =
20th from left in the original series =t.
35. 3; The 2nd , 4th, 10th and 19th letters are
T, E, S and Z respectively which form
the word ZEST.
36. 1; The characters which should be dropped
are 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st and 27th.
Now, in a sequence of (30-5=) 25th
letters, 6th to the right of 15th from the
left =(15+6) =21st from the left.
Since 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st are dropped
this would mean (21+4 =) 25th from
the left in the original series, which is 1.

57. 3; (5 +6 =) 11th letter from left in the
reverse (among letters), or 11th letter
from right series (among letters).
R is the required letter.
58. 1; Now the series becomes :

@ 6 E (5) o * E L (12) 5 4P (16) E Z
(26) 2 #I (9) 1.

Only even-placed letters are rearranged.
59. 1; % 8 o k | Z M S <2 @ 7 E o * E P 6

60. 3; The rest have : The second character in
each group is third character to the left
of first character of that group as given
in the sequence. The third character in
each group is immediately right of the
first character of that group as given in
the sequence.
61. 4; The second character after the first
symbol and the second character before
the second symbol have been taken to
form the second group.
62. 2. 63. 2. 64. 4.
65. 3; Seventh to the right of sixteenth from
the left =(-16+7=) 23rd from left =4
Now in the changed sequence 6 + 4 J
becomes J 4+ 6. Thus + takes the
place of Y.
66. 1.
67. 2; The first element in each group moves,
+4, +5, +6 ...... elements forward from
the right end of the given series. The
second element in each group moves
+2, +3, +4....... elements forward from
the left end of the given series. The last
element in each group is a letter from
the series taken consecutively.
68. 5.
69. 4; The first letter of each successive group
is obtained by adding 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,......
letters to the first letter of the previous
group. The other two letters are
alternate letters from the first letter.
70. 3; The letters are E, F, C and A. The
possible words from these letters are
FACE and CAFE.
71. 1; 9th to the left of 19th from the left
=(19-9=) 10th from the left =M.
72. 3; 3rd to the right of 16th from right

73. 3; 3rd to the right of 9th from the left
=(9+3=) 12th from the left
When every alternate character,
starting from K, is dropped
J DE 5B F 8M7O S O X . . . . .
74. 3; If n be the number of the group, then
each group consists of (nth, (n+1)th,
and nth from the end).
75. 1; J uly is the 7th month. Hence 2 x 7 =
14th character =C.
76. 4; 4th to the left of 9th from the left =
(9-4=) 5th from the left in the reduced
series RPQOJ I

V........
77. 2; 4th to the left of 16th from the left
=(16-4=) 12th from the left
Before L, there are 5 characters. So
we look for (12-5=) 7th from the left in
the reverse L-to-B series, i.e. 7th from
the right, starting from B, in the original
series, i.e. A.
78. 5; The 5th, 6th, 22nd and 26th characters
are O, L, D and E respectively. The
words possible are LODE and DOLE.
79. 3.
80. 1; 18th to the left of 12th to the right of
16th from the right
=18th to the left of (16-12=) 4th from
the right
=(4+18=) 22nd from the right
=(28-22+1=) 7th from the left =V
81. 2; The letters are A, V, C and E. The word
is CAVE.
82. 2; 11th to the left of 17th from left
=(17-11=) 6th from left
In the dropped sequence : ABI3VTPS
83. 4; 14th to the right of 6th to the left of 19th
from the left
=14th to the right of (19-6=) 13th from
the left
=(13 +14 =) 27th from the left
=(28-27+1=) 2nd from the right =5
84. 3; 3rd to the left of 10th to the right of 16th
from right
=(16-10+3=) 9th from the right
Now, 9th from the right in reversed
sequence
= 9th from the left in the original
sequence =9
85. 4; Totally there are 24 characters
6th character to the left of 15 character
from right =6+15 =21 characters from
right. Since the Ist half is reversed, the
answer is T.
86. 4; This one is based on character positions
(X =1, 3 =2, 7 =3, J =4, P =5,....).
The third character of each group has a
position value which is the product of
the position values of the first two :
X J =J (1 4 =4); 3 o =G (2 7 =
14); 3 7 =S (2 3 =6); 7 7 =9
(3 3 =9). But 7 P= G ( 3 5 =14).
87. 4; If you note carefully, the character
sequence has three components :
Roman (ordinary) letters, Arabic
numerals (3, 7, etc) and Greek letters
(a b and g). The series here is formed
by taking one from each of these
components in a sequential order.
88. 3; 16th from right =(24 - 16 +1 =) 9th
from left. Thus the required character
=
23 9
2
16
+
= th from left =(24-16+1=)
9th from right =c
89. 3; There are 8 such characters.
90. 1; In this group the sequence is +5 +7. In
all others, the sequence is +6, +7.
91. 4; The sequence obtained by eliminating
elements is P.
P @ $ B V Q W K D- F 7 Y
Number of symbols =5
Number of letters =9
Number of numerals =1
92. 5; The correct sequence is F A 3.
93. 3; The new sequence will be
2P J 8@L$B1VQ#6GW9KC
D3A- 5 F R 7AY 4.
There are two such groups, they are
$B1, W9,
94. 5; In SNP, the second letter is second from
the first letter in the character sequence
and the third letter is third from the
second letter in the character sequence.
The same rule follows for M2d and L+*.
95. 2; The following are the characters that get
eliminated :
OBf a2Mq+ L F NS
So, No. of symbols dropped =2
No. of letters dropped =10
No. of numbers dropped =1
