​

Answer 1

There are 3 pairs of letters in the word 'INTRODUCED' which has as many letters between  them in the word as in the English alphabet. (Option B)

• We need to find out the pair of words that has the same number of letters between them as there are in English alphabets.
• For that, we will start with the first letter and check for possible pairs.
• I and N can not be a possible pair since I and N have 4 letters between them.
• I and Y is also not possible as there should be 10 letters between them but here we only have 1.
• So proceeding in a similar manner we can see that the following pairs meet our requirements:

               1.  ID

               2. RU

               3. ED

• So there are 3 pairs in the given word that has the same number of letters between them as there are in the English alphabets.
