Question

Jeff found a chart with some English letters on it.
From the chart, he selects some letters and frames the word 'BINOCULARS'.

Find how many pair of letters exist that have the same number of letters between them in the word as there are in the alphabet chart?

• A. 1
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3

Alphabetical order:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z$1^{st}$ pair: NO (There are no letters between them.)
$2^{nd}$ pair: LO (There are 2 letters between them.)
$3^{rd}$ pair: RS (There are no letters between them.)

Thus, in the word 'BINOCULARS', we can see that there are 3 pairs of letters with as many letters between them as in the alphabet chart.
