Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept: In this alphabet grid, every left-hand letter is paired with its 'mirror' letter — the letter that sits the same number of places from the far end of the alphabet. If a letter's position counted from A (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26) is p, its mirror partner's position (also counted from A) is 27 − p, because positions on opposite ends always add to 27 (A+Z=1+26=27, B+Y=2+25=27, and so on).
Letter | Position from A | Mirror position (27 − p) | Mirror letter |
|---|---|---|---|
B | 2 | 25 | Y |
C | 3 | 24 | X |
E | 5 | 22 | V |
G | 7 | 20 | T |
K | 11 | 16 | P |
M | 13 | 14 | N |
Cross-check: the left-hand letters B, C, E, G, K, M sit at positions 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 — exactly the sequence of prime numbers, confirming the row order. For the last row, M's position is 13, so its mirror position is 27 − 13 = 14, and the 14th letter from A is N.
Answer: N completes the pattern.
