Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Five.
Given word: STAMINA
Each vowel in the word ‘STAMINA’ is changed to the preceding letter in the English alphabetical order:
STAMINA → STZMHNZ
Each consonant is changed to the following letter in the English alphabetical order:
STZMHNZ → TUZNHOZ
We have new word: TUZNHOZ
Now the letter which is the third from the right and the fourth from the left in the group of letters: H and N.
Letters between H and N = H, (I, J, K, L, M), N
Thus Five letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which is the third from the right and the fourth from the left in the group of letters thus formed.
