Answer Posted / preeti

the question generally means - to identify the no of words
in which starting letter and the ending letter must have
the same position difference as in English alphabet

here STAINLESS has two such pairs

ST - in alphabetical order.
A(INL)E WHICH MEANS A(BCD)E - A and E have three alphabets
in between.

in some books i also found that the word is scanned from
right and not from left.

my answer would be (a) two
