Given Word: BRIGHTER
To find out the pairs of letters in the word BRIGHTER that have as many letters between them as in the English alphabet, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the letters in the word
The given letters in the word BRIGHTER are: B, R, I, G, H, T, E, and R.
Step 2: Find the number of letters between each pair of letters
We need to find the number of letters between each pair of letters in the word BRIGHTER. If this number is the same as the number of letters in the English alphabet (26), then we count it as a pair.
- B and R: There are seven letters (I, G, H, T, E, R, and R) between B and R. This pair is not valid as there are more than 26 letters between them.
- B and I: There are eight letters (R, G, H, T, E, R, and R) between B and I. This pair is not valid.
- B and G: There are six letters (R, I, H, T, E, and R) between B and G. This pair is not valid.
- B and H: There are five letters (R, I, G, T, and E) between B and H. This pair is not valid.
- B and T: There are four letters (R, I, G, and H) between B and T. This pair is not valid.
- B and E: There are three letters (R, I, and G) between B and E. This pair is not valid.
- B and R: There are seven letters (I, G, H, T, E, R, and R) between B and R. This pair is not valid.
Step 3: Count the valid pairs
Based on the analysis above, the number of valid pairs is 0.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C', which states that there are three such pairs of letters in the word BRIGHTER, each having as many letters between them as in the English alphabet.
