Solutions

Solution (11-15):
S11. Ans. (a)
Sol. After all letters in reverse order -TNL DCA UMC RMB OLG
After all word in alphabetical order -DCA OLG RMB TNL UMC
So, the word is TNL which is formed from NLT.

S12. Ans. (d)
Sol. After interchanging the letter – TLN ACD UCM MBR OLG
After all word in alphabetical order- ACD MBR OLG TLN UCM
So, 2nd from the left end – MBR which is formed from RBM.

S13. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given Series – NLT DCA MCU RBM GLO
After changing – MKS CBA LBU QAL FKO
Hence, no word has at least two vowels.

S14. Ans. (e)
Sol. Given Series – NLT DCA MCU RBM GLO
Second letter of the second word from the left end – C
Second letter of the word which is right end – L
So, there are 8 letters between C and L.

S15. Ans. (e)
Sol. Given Series – NLT DCA MCU RBM GLO
