PHYSICS Word Analysis

The question asks for the alphabetical index of a specific letter within the word "PHYSICS". The alphabetical index system assigns numbers from 1 to 26, where $A=1$, $B=2$, $C=3$, and so on, up to $Z=26$.

Finding the Target Letter

We need to find the 2nd letter from the right in the word "PHYSICS".

  • The word is: P H Y S I C S
  • Listing the letters from right to left:
  • 1st letter from right: S
  • 2nd letter from right: C

Determining Alphabetical Index

The identified letter is 'C'. Using the standard alphabetical index where $A=1$, we find the index for 'C'.

  • $A=1$
  • $B=2$
  • $C=3$

Therefore, the alphabetical index of the letter 'C' is 3.
