• B. T
• C. E
• D. R

Hint:

When rearranging letters in a sequence, break down the instructions step by step. Reverse the specified parts as instructed and then carefully count to find the correct letter in the new arrangement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The word given is "CONCENTRATION". The steps to rearrange the letters as per the instructions are as follows: 1. Last four letters in reverse order: The last four letters of "CONCENTRATION" are "TION". Reversed, this becomes "NOIT". 2. Next two letters in reverse order: The next two letters are "RA". Reversed, this becomes "AR". 3. Next three letters in reverse order: The next three letters are "TRA". Reversed, this becomes "ART". 4. First four letters in reverse order: The first four letters are "CONC". Reversed, this becomes "CNOC". Now, putting all the rearranged sections together, we get the sequence: \[ \text{NOIT} \, \text{AR} \, \text{ART} \, \text{CNOC} \] So, the new sequence is: NOITARARTCNOC. To find the eighth letter in this new arrangement: - Counting the letters: N-O-I-T-A-R-A-R-T-C-N-O-C - The eighth letter is T. Thus, the correct answer is (2) T.
