In the word 'AMBIDEXTROUS', if the first letter is interchanged with the last letter, the second letter is interchanged with the eleventh letter, the third letter is interchanged with the tenth letter and so on, then which letter would immediately follow R in the new arrangement when read from left to right?

PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
T

The word is 'AMBIDEXTROUS'. It has 12 letters. To solve this, we need to perform the letter interchanges as described.

  • The first letter (A) is interchanged with the last letter (S).
  • The second letter (M) is interchanged with the eleventh letter (U).
  • The third letter (B) is interchanged with the tenth letter (R).
  • The fourth letter (I) is interchanged with the ninth letter (O).
  • The fifth letter (D) is interchanged with the eighth letter (X).
  • The sixth letter (E) is interchanged with the seventh letter (T).

Therefore, the new arrangement becomes: SAMBIDEXTROUS → SUMBIRODETXA.

Reading the new arrangement from left to right, the letter immediately following R is T.
