How many letter pairs are there in the word 'RECREATE' that have as many letters (in both the forward as well as the backward direction) as there are between them in the English alphabetical series?
Two
A pair qualifies when the number of letters between two letters in the word equals the number of letters between them in the English alphabet, read forward or backward.
Positions: R(18) E(5) C(3) R(18) E(5) A(1) T(20) E(5)
C-E (3rd and 5th letters): one letter between in the word and one, D, in the alphabet
E-A (2nd and 6th letters): three letters between in the word and three (B, C, D) in the alphabet
Check: other pairs fail, e.g. E-C (2nd and 3rd) are adjacent in the word but have D between them in the alphabet, and C-A (3rd and 6th) have two letters between in the word but only B in the alphabet. So the number of such pairs is two.
Hence, Two.
