Question: 1 / 400

Which letter is as far before U as T is after J in the alphabet?

J

K

To determine which letter is as far before U as T is after J, we first need to calculate the numerical positions of these letters in the alphabet.

Starting with the letter J, it is positioned as the 10th letter in the alphabet. The letter T is the 20th letter. Therefore, the distance between J and T is 10 positions (20 - 10 = 10).

Now, if we are looking for a letter that is also 10 positions before the letter U, we find the position of U, which is the 21st letter. Taking 10 steps back from U gives us the letter K (21 - 10 = 11), which is indeed the 11th letter of the alphabet.

Thus, K is the letter that is positioned 10 places before U, just as T is 10 places after J.
