Question

There are two circular concentric rings, with 26 sectors on each ring marked A to Z. Sectors on outer and inner circles match in a perfect size fit. Whereas the outer ring contains the sectors marked clockwise, the inner ring has sectors marked anticlockwise, such that sectors marked A on both the circles are coinciding at present, B on the outer circle coincides with Z on the inner circle and so on. If the outer circle is rotated clockwise by two sectors from the original position, how many alphabets will coincide on both the circles ?

Answer 1

The outer circle have alphabets in clockwise direction and in inner circle have alphabets in anti-clockwise direction.

outer circle alphabet A is only letter coincide with same alphabets in inner circle

outer  - inner

 A      -    A

 B      -    Z

 C      -    Y

  D     -    X

   E     -     W

        ------

 W      -    E

 X     -    D

 Y     -    C

 Z   -     B

when we rotate outer circle two sectors from original position,

Only Z is the only alphabet will coincide on both the circles.
