The correct answer is

6

To solve this problem, we need to identify the letters corresponding to specific positions in the given series and calculate the number of letters between them in the English alphabetical order.

  1. Locate the letter that is fourth from the right end of the series. Counting from the right, we have:
    • 1st from right: L
    • 2nd from right: E
    • 3rd from right: B
    • 4th from right: M
    Therefore, the letter that is fourth from the right is M.
  2. Next, locate the letter that is third from the left end of the series. Counting from the left, we have:
    • 1st from left: A
    • 2nd from left: X
    • 3rd from left: T
    Therefore, the letter that is third from the left is T.
  3. Now, determine the number of letters in the English alphabetical series between M and T. The alphabetical positions are:
    • M is 13th in the alphabet.
    • T is 20th in the alphabet.
  4. Calculate the difference in their positions:
    • The letters between M and T are: N, O, P, Q, R, S.
    • This totals 6 letters.

Hence, there are 6 letters in the English alphabetical series between the letter that is fourth from the right end and the letter that is third from the left end of the series. Thus, the correct answer is 6.
