To solve this problem, let's analyze the word "EXCLUSIVE" and identify pairs of letters that have as many letters between them as in the alphabet.
First, let's list down the alphabet:
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
Now, let's examine each pair of letters in the word "EXCLUSIVE" and count the number of letters between them in the alphabet.
- EX: There are 22 letters between E and X in the alphabet.
- XE: There are 4 letters between X and E in the alphabet.
- EL: There is 1 letter between E and L in the alphabet.
- LU: There are 20 letters between L and U in the alphabet.
- US: There is 1 letter between U and S in the alphabet.
- SI: There are 5 letters between S and I in the alphabet.
- IV: There are 4 letters between I and V in the alphabet.
- VE: There is 20 letters between V and E in the alphabet.
From the analysis, we can see that there are three pairs of letters in the word "EXCLUSIVE" that have as many letters between them as in the alphabet: EX, LU, and IV.
So, the correct answer is (B) 3.
To solve this problem, we need to find pairs of letters in the word "CRYSTALLIZE" that have as many letters between them as in the alphabet.
First, let's list down the alphabet:
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
Now, let's examine each pair of letters in the word "CRYSTALLIZE" and count the number of letters between them in the alphabet.
- CR: There are 16 letters between C and R in the alphabet.
- RY: There is 15 letters between R and Y in the alphabet.
- ST: There is 16 letters between S and T in the alphabet.
- TA: There are 19 letters between T and A in the alphabet.
- AL: There are 7 letters between A and L in the alphabet.
- LL: There is 8 letters between L and L in the alphabet (counting L itself).
- LI: There are 10 letters between L and I in the alphabet.
- IZ: There are 10 letters between I and Z in the alphabet.
- ZE: There is 19 letters between Z and E in the alphabet.
From the analysis, we can see that there are three pairs of letters in the word "CRYSTALLIZE" that have as many letters between them as in the alphabet: CR, ST, and IZ.
So, the correct answer is (C) 3.
-NA-
The respective letter are D, E, M and N. Of these letters, only MEND can be formed.
The solution provided is correct. Let's break it down further for clarity:
Arrange the letters in the word "UNIVERSAL" alphabetically:
A, E, I, L, N, R, S, U, VAssign numerical values equal to the serial number from the left in this rearranged order:
A = 1
E = 2
I = 3
L = 4
N = 5
R = 6
S = 7
U = 8
V = 9Calculate the sum of position numbers of vowels (A, E, I, U):
Sum = 1 + 2 + 3 + 8 = 14Calculate the sum of position numbers of consonants (L, N, R, S, V):
Sum = 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 9 = 31Find the difference between the total of numerical values of vowels and that of consonants:
Difference = 31 (consonants) - 14 (vowels) = 17
So, the correct answer is (B) 17.
