This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2025 Graduate Level Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

M

R is the 18th letter of the alphabet.

Moving to the left means going back towards A, so subtract: 18 − 5 = 13.

The 13th letter of the alphabet is M (counting back from R: Q, P, O, N, M).

Hence, the 5th letter to the left of R is M.
