Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Write the letters of the word 'LASTING': L, A, S, T, I, N, G

Step 2: Arrange these letters in alphabetical order:
A, G, I, L, N, S, T

Step 3: Identify the letter which is second from the left end:    
Second from left = G

Step 4: Identify the letter which is fourth from the right end:  
From right end: 1st = T, 2nd = S, 3rd = N, 4th = L  
So, fourth from right = L

Step 5: Find the number of letters between G and L in the English alphabet:  
Alphabet positions: G = 7, L = 12  
Letters between G and L are H(8), I(9), J(10), K(11)  
Number of letters between = 4

Step 6: The question asks for how many letters are there in the English alphabetical series between these two letters.
