Civil Service Clerical Ability Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Study Guide

Question: 1 / 400

Which letter is as far after E as K is before R in the alphabet?

H

I

J

L

To solve the problem, we first determine the distance between the letters K and R. In the English alphabet, K is the 11th letter, and R is the 18th letter. The difference between these two letters is 18 - 11 = 7 positions.

Next, we need to find a letter that is 7 positions after E. E is the 5th letter of the alphabet. When we add 7 positions to E, we get:

5 (position of E) + 7 = 12

The 12th letter of the alphabet is L. Therefore, L is the correct letter that is the same distance after E as K is before R.

This reasoning clearly shows why L is the answer. It positions L as being 7 places after E, aligning perfectly with the distance we found between K and R.
