How many pairs of letters are there in the word 'HORIZON' which have as many letters between them in the words as in the English alphabet?
The correct option is C Three
If we check from both directions that is in forward and backward direction the answer is "three". As starting from H to N the total number of letter in given word are five and in alphabetical series also the total number of letter between H and N are five that is I, J, K, L, M and then N comes.
So this is one pair
If we check in backward direction from N to O there is no gap between them and in alphabetical series also after N, O comes. This is second pair.
And last pair is again in backward direction from O to R, the total number of letters in between are two and in alphabetical series also the total number of letters are two that is after O P,Q and then R comes.
