Solution

To solve this problem, we need to look at each pair of letters in the word 'SEQUENTIAL' and see if the number of letters between them in the word is the same as the number of letters between them in the alphabet.

  1. Start with the first letter 'S'. The letters between 'S' and 'E' in the word are 'E', 'Q', 'U', 'E', 'N', 'T', 'I', 'A', 'L'. In the alphabet, the letters between 'S' and 'E' are 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R'. So, 'S' and 'E' do not form a pair.

  2. Continue this process for each pair of letters in the word.

  3. After checking all pairs, we find that there are two pairs that meet the criteria: 'S' and 'U', 'E' and 'A'.

So, there are 2 pairs of letters in the word 'SEQUENTIAL' which have as many letters between them in the word as in the alphabet.
