Points to Remember :-
You can easily solve the problems based on this topic with the help of these short tricks -
1. Starting points of the series is left end and ending point of the series is right end.
2. To solve the question easily you should break the series in combination of fivefive elements.
We can easily understand the series problems by -

3. left element – left element = left element 13th element from left – 8th element from left = 5th element from left is E.
4. right element – right element = right element 13th element from right – 8th element from right = 5th element from right is V.
5. left element + right element = left element 13th element from left + 8th element from right = 21th element from left is U.
6. right element + left element = right element 13th element from right + 8th element
from left = 21th element from right is F.
7. all these situations are based on condition of left end or right end.
8. Once the candidate knows the position of letters, he requires to learn time management. We don’t have much time and hence all the letters can’t be read thoroughly.

Words given above are just the arrangement of the alphabets having position multiples of 5 from this word we can learn position of 26 letters. Abovementioned five letters have, 4 their followers, and 4 their precedent.
9. Here a new word is given below in which the arrangement of letters have occupied positions in the multiples of 3, with the help of this word we can get the position of total 26 letters.
