One pair is there in the word 'OBLIGATE', each of which has as many letters between them in the word (both forward and backward direction) as they have between them in the English Alphabet.

Mistake Points In this type of question we have to count from A to Z, reverse counting Z to A is not considered. Therefore Y- A is not the correct pair
