In a code, each capital letter is replaced by its reverse position in the alphabet (Z=1).
How is “Y” coded?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
According to the given reverse alphabetical order (Z = 1, Y = 2, X = 3, ..., A = 26):
Reverse position of a letter = 27 − Forward alphabetical position
For the letter Y:
• Forward position of Y = 25
• Reverse position of Y = 27 − 25 = 2
Therefore, Y is coded as 2.
