Civil Service Clerical Ability Practice exam

To determine which letter is as far after Q as J is after E, we first need to calculate the distance between E and J in the alphabet.

The letter E is the 5th letter, and J is the 10th letter of the alphabet. Subtracting these positions gives us a distance of 5 letters (10 - 5 = 5).

Now we need to find a letter that is also 5 letters after Q. Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. Adding 5 to this position gives us the following calculation:

17 + 5 = 22.

The 22nd letter of the alphabet is V. Therefore, the letter that is the same distance after Q as J is after E is V, confirming that our calculations and reasoning are consistent with the options given.

In summary, V is the letter that fits the criteria by being 5 letters after Q, just as J is 5 letters after E.
