Question

Each letter in the word DROUGHT is changed to the letter immediately preceding it in the English alphabetical order and then all the letters in the cluster thus formed are arranged in the English alphabetical order. Which of the following letters will be fifth from the right in the new group of letters thus formed?

The correct answer is

G

Changing each letter of DROUGHT to the letter immediately preceding it gives C, Q, N, T, F, G, S. Arranging these alphabetically: C, F, G, N, Q, S, T.

Counting from the right, the order is T(1st), S(2nd), Q(3rd), N(4th), G(5th).

Hence, the letter fifth from the right is G.
