Show Hint
- 6
- M
- 9
- \#
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
We need to perform two operations on the given string. First, reverse the middle nine elements. Second, find a specific element based on its position from the right end.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Part 1: Reverse the middle nine elements.
The original string has 25 elements. The middle nine elements will be from the 9th to the 17th position. Number of elements to leave from the start = \((25 - 9) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8\). The first 8 elements are: * 5 U £ 2 W @ 3 The middle 9 elements (from 9th to 17th) are: K 9 + \# 6 M & 4 A The last 8 elements are: a 5 G 8 7 B % R O Now, we reverse the middle 9 elements: Original middle: K 9 + \# 6 M & 4 A Reversed middle: A 4 & M 6 \# + 9 K The new string becomes: * 5 U £ 2 W @ 3 A 4 & M 6 \# + 9 K a 5 G 8 7 B % R O
Part 2: Find the required element.
The question asks for the "seventh to the right of the twenty-first element from the right end". This can be calculated as a single position from the right end: Position = (21st from right) - (7 to the right) = 14th element from the right end. Now, let's count the 14th element from the right in our new string. New String: * 5 U £ 2 W @ 3 A 4 & M 6 \# + 9 K a 5 G 8 7 B % R O Counting from the right (O is 1st): 1st: O 2nd: R 3rd: % 4th: B 5th: 7 6th: 8 7th: G 8th: 5 9th: a 10th: K 11th: 9 12th: + 13th: \# 14th: 6
Step 3: Final Answer:
The 14th element from the right end of the modified string is 6.

TrueColor, an event management company in eastern India, had been in a business of inviting Tollywood singers to a city called Tivanna, and made money out of selling tickets of their concerts. The stars were paid a xed fee regardless of the number of tickets sold. The company had a specialized team that negotiated the singers’ fee with their managers. However, for selling the tickets of such events, they were reliant on an external media agency called Zedius. Zedius had a long-standing relationship with TrueColor, and had been instrumental in achieving a target of 50,000 tickets for each of the agship events..
Mr. Sukanta Rao joined TrueColor as an inhouse sales and marketing manager, a position exclusively created for him. The CEO, Mr. Adil Banerjee, had assigned a task of increasing the sales of tickets to 100,000. In Sukanta’s earlier stint, he had seen that similar cities sell more than 75,000 tickets for such events. He felt that, over time, reaching 100,000 was plausible for TrueColor- XAT - 2025

Sundaram Stores operated in a gated community, situated about 30 Kilometers away from the main town. The store owner Mr. Sundareswaran Pichaimuthu, or Sundaram as he was called by everyone, secured a space in the gated society through a competitive bidding process. The residents’ association, led by Mr. Thangamoorthy Selvaganapathy, selected Sundaram over three other bidders, based on his willingness to pay the highest rent. Desperate to augment his post-retirement income, Sundaram agreed to pay a very high rent, banking on the prospect of generating exceptional revenue from the gated community.
Sundaram was awarded the contract to establish the store, with provisions for a review every three years. Feeling elated during the meeting with the residents’ association to finalize the contract, he enthusiastically committed to offering a 15% discount on all groceries and stationary, cementing goodwill and reinforcing the partnership established through the contract. The association was delightedly taken aback by his generous assurance. Sundaram hoped to make up the difference through volume.
Although his sales were strong during the initial months, he soon realized that the SUV-owning residents of the gated community primarily made their purchases at large, branded retail chains in the main town. These stores offered deeper discounts, which he could not afford to compete with. However, gradually, Sundaram store became their go-to store for daily essentials and occasional urgent big purchases such as replacing a broken mixer-grinder.- XAT - 2025

Questions Asked in SRCC GBO exam
Read the given passage and answer the questions.
For those of us without access to outside green space, houseplants are a stylish and affordable way of getting a nature fix. Alongside looking nice, indoor plants actually have several other perks- the biggest benefit of which could be improving your mental health. And the good news is you don’t need to be a self-professed” plant parent” to experience these benefits either. One in eight UK households don’t have access to any kind of garden. Young people and those from minority ethnic backgrounds are among those least likely to have a garden. Not having access to nature can have a number of effects on our health. It’s been linked to symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as other health conditions, such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, and poor immune function. For many of us, houseplants are an essential link to nature. While there’s not yet a robust body of research on the mental health benefits of houseplants specifically, plenty of studies have shown how beneficial green space and gardening are for mental health. For instance, one study found that people who garden daily have better wellbeing and lower stress levels compared to those who don’t. Gardening also reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety and increases positive emotions to the same extent as biking, walking and eating out. Many of these outcomes are likely to be true of houseplants too. A recent review of 42 studies demonstrates that even just being in the presence of indoor plants can improve mental and physical health. These experiments compared participants doing various activities in rooms with or without plants. The presence of plants saw better performances on cognitive tasks involving focus, sorting or memory recall, greater pain tolerance when holding hands in ice cold water, and lower levels of physiological stress. Interestingly, the aesthetic appearance of plants is important too, with separate research showing that people tend to react more positively to lush, green plants with rounded and denser foliage. But most of these studies are centred around the mere presence of plants. From research on the benefits of gardening, we can assume that caring for houseplants will bring out many more emotional benefits- such as pride, social connection, satisfaction, fascination, mental resilience in times of stress, and may even help you heal from past trauma.... Plants can remove pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide (from nearby traffic), fine particles (from dust) and volatile organic compounds (from air fresheners, cooking and cleaning). For people indoors for the majority of the day, indoor air quality is hugely important. High concentrations of carbon dioxide can reduce cognitive performance (such as concentration and memory recall) while prolonged exposure to other indoor pollutants can cause long-term health problems- ranging from minor eye or throat irritations to respiratory problems and cancer. But removing a meaningful quantity of indoor pollutants would require a lot of plants in a very bright room- something unrealistic for most people. If you do want to give it a try, plants with a high leaf area- such as an India rubber tree (Ficus elastic) or devil’s ivy (Epipremnum aureum) are your best bet- SRCC GBO - 2026
