Alphabet Test

In this concept, the questions based on Alphabets are asked in question paper. In order to understand the topic, the various rules should be kept in mind:

1. We know that there are 26 letters in the English Alphabets but to solve the questions, we should have knowledge of the number position of letters in the alphabet.

Remember the word FLRX. Its number position in the alphabet is 6, 12, 18, and 24, which is at an interval of 6.

If the position of the letter O is asked. You know that the letter O is between L (12) and R (18). You can easily find the position of L, either by adding 3 in position of L or subtracting 3 from position of R. 3 is added in the position of L because O is third letter after L or 3 is subtracted from the position of R because O is third letter, before R.

2. A  B C D………………………………….X Y  Z

(L.H.S)

3. A B C D………………………………. X Y  Z

4. In order to know the position of a letter to the same direction i.e.  from the left to the left or from the right to right we subtract the number position of one from another.
