Appeared in: AIIMS Raipur NO - 2019 (Shift-2)
Explanation
- The word 'UNDERTAKING' consists of 11 letters.
- To find the middle letter, the letters must first be arranged in alphabetical order.
- The alphabetical arrangement of the letters is: A, D, E, G, I, K, N, N, R, T, U.
- In a sequence of 11 items, the middle position is the 6th item.
- Counting to the 6th position in the sorted list reveals the letter 'K'.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: The letter 'N' appears in the 7th and 8th positions in the sorted list, which is after the middle position.
- Option B: This option is incorrect because the middle letter, 'K', is present in the options.
- Option D: The letter 'I' is in the 5th position in the sorted list, which is just before the middle position, not at the middle.

- These skills are foundational for tasks in nursing that require precision, such as medication calculation, interpreting lab results, and following complex protocols.

- The sorted list is A, D, E, G, I, K, N, N, R, T, U.
- Identify the letter at the 6th position in the sorted list.
- Compare this letter with the given options to find the correct answer.
