If Z = 1, Y = 2, X = 3... what is the value of CAT?
Correct answer: A. 57
- A. 57
- B. 55
- C. 60
- D. 50
Explanation
To solve the problem, recognize that the position of each letter in the alphabet is reversed; Z is 1, Y is 2, and so on. For CAT, calculate: C is the 3rd letter, so its reverse position is 26 - 3 + 1 = 24. A is the 1st letter, so its reverse position is 26 - 1 + 1 = 26. T is the 20th letter, so its reverse position is 26 - 20 + 1 = 7. Summing these values, 24 + 26 + 7 = 57. Thus, the correct answer is 57. The other options result from miscalculating one or more of these reverse positions.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
