Solution

The symmetrical alphabets are: A H I M O T U V W X Y.
The horizontally symmetrical alphabets are: B C D E H I K O X
The rotationally symmetrical alphabets are: H I N O S X

Therefore, there are 18 alphabets that are symmetric in one way or the other.

Number of ways of choosing 4 alphabets such that no symmetric alphabets are chosen = 8C4

Number of ways of choosing 4 alphabets = 26C4

Number of ways of choosing 4 alphabets with at least one symmetric alphabet = 26C4 - 8C4
