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.
