Question and options
If the order of the English alphabet is reversed, which letter would be exactly in the middle?
- L
- M
- N
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - None of the given options is correct
The alphabet has 26 letters, an even number, so whether it is written forwards or reversed no single letter stands exactly in the middle: M and N, the 13th and 14th letters, share the middle. So none of the letters offered is exactly in the middle; 'M' and 'N' are tempting only because they sit either side of the centre.
