The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand the Problem.
We are tasked with removing every third letter from the English alphabet and then determining the ninth letter from the left in the resulting series.
Step 2: Write the English Alphabet.
The English alphabet is: \[ A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z \]
Step 3: Remove Every Third Letter.
To remove every third letter, we eliminate the 3rd, 6th, 9th, etc.,
letters from the alphabet. The resulting series is: \[ A, B, \cancel{C}, D, E, \cancel{F}, G, H, \cancel{I}, J, K, \cancel{L}, M, N, \cancel{O}, P, Q, \cancel{R}, S, T, \cancel{U}, V, W, \cancel{X}, Y, Z \] The new series becomes: \[ A, B, D, E, G, H, J, K, M, N, P, Q, S, T, V, W, Y, Z \]
Step 4: Find the Ninth Letter in the New Series.
Now, count the letters in the new series to find the ninth letter:
1. A
2. B
3. D
4. E
5. G
6. H
7. J
8. K
9. M
The ninth letter is M.
Step 5: Match with the Options.
The correct answer corresponds to Option (1): M.
