Question

Study the following sequence and then answer the question given below:
9 H 7 Z A 9 2 B C H 3 1 X W V 5 T 4 M 6 0 Q 8 F J.
If every fourth letter/number in the above sequence starting from 7 is eliminated, which of the following will be fifth letter/number to the left of the 12th position from your right?

• A. H
• B. Z
• C. A
• D. C

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this problem, we first need to identify every fourth element starting from the element '7' and eliminate them from the sequence.

1. Original Sequence: 9 H 7 Z A 9 2 B C H 3 1 X W V 5 T 4 M 6 0 Q 8 F J.
2. Eliminate every fourth element starting from '7':
   1. First element to eliminate is 'A' (count: 9, H, 7, Z - counting starts with '7').
   2. Continue counting from the next element after 'A': 9, 2, B, C.
   3. Next, eliminate '2'.
   4. Continue counting: H, 3, 1, X.
   5. Next, eliminate '3'.
   6. Continue counting: W, V, 5, T.
   7. Next, eliminate '5'.
   8. Continue counting: 4, M, 6, 0.
   9. Next, eliminate '6'.
   10. Continue: Q, 8, F, J.
   11. Next, eliminate 'F'.
   Remaining Sequence after elimination: 9, H, 7, Z, 9, B, C, H, 1, X, W, V, T, 4, M, 0, Q, 8, J.
3. Next, find the 12th position from the right:
   • Counting backwards: J, 8, Q, 0, M, 4, T, V, W, X, 1, H.
4. Finally, find the fifth element to the left of this 12th position:
   • Counting left from 'H': 9, B, C, H, Z.

The fifth letter/number to the left of the 12th position from the right in the modified sequence is Z.
