Select the correct answerHow many such pairs of letters are there in the word MONITERED each of which has as many letters between them in the word (in both forward and backward directions) as they have between them in the english alphabetical series?OptionsNoneOneTwoMore than threeThree

To find the number of pairs of letters in the word "MONITERED" that have the same number of letters between them in both forward and backward directions as they have in the English alphabetical series, we can follow these steps:

1. Write down the English alphabetical series: 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.

2. Look for the letters in the word "MONITERED" and note down their positions in the alphabetical series. In this case, we have:

   • M: 13
   • O: 15
   • N: 14
   • I: 9
   • T: 20
   • E: 5
   • R: 18
   • E: 5
   • D: 4

3. Calculate the number of letters between each pair of letters in the word "MONITERED" in both forward and backward directions. For example:

   • Between M and O: 1 letter forward (N) and 1 letter backward (N).
   • Between O and N: 1 letter forward (N) and 1 letter backward (N).
   • Between N and I: 4 letters forward (O, P, Q, R) and 4 letters backward (M, L, K, J).
   • Between I and T: 10 letters forward (J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S) and 10 letters backward (H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A, Z, Y).
   • Between T and E: 14 letters forward (U, V, W, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) and 14 letters backward (S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F).
   • Between E and R: 9 letters forward (F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N) and 9 letters backward (D, C, B, A, Z, Y, X, W, V).
   • Between R and E: 9 letters forward (S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, A) and 9 letters backward (Q, P, O, N, M, L, K, J, I).
   • Between E and D: 1 letter forward (F) and 1 letter backward (C).

4. Count the number of pairs that have the same number of letters between them in both forward and backward directions. In this case, we have two pairs:

   • Between N and I: 4 letters forward and 4 letters backward.
   • Between E and R: 9 letters forward and 9 letters backward.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Two."
