Question

How many pairs of letters are there in the word ‘EFFECT’ which have as many letters between them in the word as in the alphabet?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Hint:

When solving alphabet-based pair questions, assign numbers (A=1, B=2,...) and match gaps in positions and index.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Write the word: E F F E C T
Step 2: Look for matching alphabetical distances.
Alphabetical positions:
E(5), F(6), F(6), E(5), C(3), T(20)
Valid pairs:
E(1) to F(2) → distance 1, alphabetical gap = 1
C(5) to E(2) → distance 2, alphabetical gap = 2
So, total valid pairs = 2
