Download Solution PDFGiven word: MALNOURISHED
According to the question,
| Given word | M | A | L | N | O | U | R | I | S | H | E | D |
|
Vowel → (+1) Consonant → (-1) |
(-1) | (+1) | (-1) | (-1) | (+1) | (+1) | (-1) | (+1) | (-1) | (-1) | (+1) | (-1) |
| Resultant | L | B | K | M | P | V | Q | J | R | G | F | C |
So, new letter cluster formed: (Left end) L B K M P V Q J R G F C (Right end)
Second from the left in the new letter-cluster thus formed: (Left end) L B K M P V Q J R G F C (Right end) → B
Third from the left in the new letter-cluster thus formed: (Left end) L B K M P V Q J R G F C (Right end) → K
Thus, number of letters are there in the English alphabetical order between the letter which is the second from the left end (B) and the third from the left end (K) in the group of letters thus formed → C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J → 8
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.
