Dear friends i ofcourse confused like you when i come

across to solve this problem. Really friends its very

simple if you understand the question clearly. First thing

is what is mean by “as many as” means its called ‘idiom and

phrase’ in english and it means “the same number of”. now

read the question “how many pairs of letters in STAINLESS

which has same number of letters between them in the word

as they have in english alphabet”.

In the alphabetical order, A-Z can be numbered as 1-26.

In A(INL)E which is same as in the alphabetical order A

(BCD)E. In both the cases E is in the Fourth position. so

we got one pair.

And in ST, there are no letters between them in the word

stainless. In alphabetical orer from A-Z also there is no

letters between them..so we got the second pair…

In STAINLESS it has two pairs ST and AE
