There are two types of Letters :

� Half
There are two types of halves : In English alphabet, a letter is said to be the opposite of another
 1st HALF : A B C D E F G H I J K L M (There letter e.g., opposite letter of A is Z, B is Y, C is X and so on. Sum
are a total of 13 letters in the 1 st half. Hence, of their positional values is always equal to 27.
letters 1 to 13 are in the 1st half)
 2nd HALF : N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (There are a e.g., We find the opposite letter of E and the position of E is 5 in
total of 13 letters in the 2nd half. Hence, letters 14 to 26 are an English alphabet, then
in the 2nd half) Opposite letter of E = (27 – 5) = 22 (V).
� Position
V is the opposite letter of E.
In the English alphabet, each letter has its corresponding
position, such positions of letters are of two types : Trick to Remember Opposite Letter
 Forward order letter position : In such order, one starts counting AZ – A to Z (1 + 26 = 27)
from A and goes towards Z. Let us see,
BY – Boy (2 + 25 = 27)

DW – Door Window (4 + 23 = 27)
 Backward order letter position : In backward order
position, counting is started from Z and is ended at A. EV– Evening (5 + 22 = 27)
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A FU – Fair Unfair (6 + 21 = 27)

Wife Brother
M + N ⇒ ‘M is the mother of N’.
Hence, it is clear from the above diagram, N × Q ⇒ ‘N is the sister of Q’.
that woman is Aunt of this (man’s) wife. So, ‘P is the maternal uncle of ‘Q’.

1. Introduction (C) 46 (D) 49
Under the chapter number or letters or both are represented Sol. (A) : Ist part ⇒ 56 – 32 = 24
through one or more figures (geometrical or any other figure).
IInd part ⇒ 64 – 22 = 42
Such numbers or letters are arranged inside the figure according
to a certain pattern (based on particular logic or mathematical IIIrd part ⇒ 87 – 31= 56
calculation) but in such arrangement, one character is missing Same as,
which is denoted by the question mark (?).
68 – ? = 32
The candidate is required to find out the character that can replace
the question mark (?). ? = 68 – 32
? = 36

IInd figure ⇒(3)2 + (4)2 + (2)2 + (6)2 = 65 × 10 = 650
IIIrd figure ⇒ (1)2 + (2)2 + (8)2 + (0)2 = 69 × 10 = 690
