How many such letters are there in the word BACKLASH each of which is ...
Solution:
Given word is BACKLASH.
We need to find the letters which are as far away from the beginning of the word as it is from the beginning of the English alphabet.
Steps to be followed:
1. Write the English alphabet in order from A to Z.
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. Count the number of letters from the beginning of the alphabet to the letter in the word.
For example, for the letter B, the number of letters from the beginning of the alphabet to B is 2.
3. Count the number of letters from the beginning of the word to the letter.
For example, for the letter B, the number of letters from the beginning of the word to B is 1.
4. Check if the two numbers obtained in steps 2 and 3 are equal.
If they are equal, then the letter satisfies the given condition.
Using the above steps, we can find the letters in the word BACKLASH which satisfy the given condition.
B - The letter B is the second letter of the alphabet and the first letter of the word. So, it satisfies the given condition.
A - The letter A is the first letter of the alphabet and the second letter of the word. So, it satisfies the given condition.
C - The letter C is the third letter of the alphabet and the third letter of the word. So, it satisfies the given condition.
K - The letter K is the eleventh letter of the alphabet and the fourth letter of the word. So, it does not satisfy the given condition.
L - The letter L is the twelfth letter of the alphabet and the fifth letter of the word. So, it does not satisfy the given condition.
A - The letter A is the first letter of the alphabet and the sixth letter of the word. So, it does not satisfy the given condition.
S - The letter S is the nineteenth letter of the alphabet and the seventh letter of the word. So, it does not satisfy the given condition.
H - The letter H is the eighth letter of the word and the eighth letter of the alphabet. So, it satisfies the given condition.
Therefore, there are two letters in the word BACKLASH which satisfy the given condition.
Hence, the correct answer is (c) Two.
