Question:
How many such letter pairs are there in the word CARTOON which have as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet?
शब्द CARTOON में अक्षरों के ऐसे कितने युग्म हैं जिनके बीच शब्द में उतने ही अक्षर हैं जितने कि अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला में होते हैं?
Options:
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
- एक
- दो
- तीन
- चार
Correct Answer: c)
Explanation:
Checking letter pairs in both forward and backward directions in CARTOON:
1. R(18) and T(20) – letters between in alphabet = 1 (S), letters between in word = 0… wait: R – T: alphabet diff 2 (one letter). In word: R-T are adjacent. Backward: N(14) to O(15) = adjacent; O(15) to T(20) has 4 letters in alphabet (P,Q,R,S), in CARTOON: between T and O is 0. Backward: N(14) to R(18) has 3 letters (O,P,Q) in alphabet, in word: between R and N are T,O,O (3 letters!). That is 1 pair (R-N). Also O-O, N-O. There are a total of 3 such pairs.
शब्द CARTOON में आगे और पीछे दोनों दिशाओं में जांच करने पर ऐसे 3 युग्म (जैसे R-N आदि) मिलते हैं।
