CORPORATION
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 7 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe logic follows here is:
Given word:
CORPORATION
The given word can be represented as shown below:
In the forward direction → "PR", "RT" and "PT"
In the backward direction → "NO" and "OP".
Thus there are 5 pairs of a letter in the word 'CORPORATION' each of which has as many letters between them in word as they have between them in the English alphabetical series.
Hence, the correct answer is "5".
How many such pairs of letters (in both forward and backward direction) are there in the word 'STARTEW' which have as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabets?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Arrangement and Pattern Question 8 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven word: 'STARTEW'
So, there are two such pairs i.e. ST and RT.
Hence, the correct answer is "Two".
Mistake Points
Here, in both forward and backward directions, means that in the given word we can make pairs in both forward and backward directions.
Thus, only S → T in the forward direction and R → T in the backward direction are possible cases.
Alphabet series ranges from A to Z, and there it stops. So, we can't apply the rule on W and A, as after Z, the series ends.
[Consider the example of LINEAR ARRANGEMENT of A to Z in a line and NOT CIRCULAR ARRANGEMENT]
