How many such pairs of distinct letters are there in the word **'CHANNEL'**, which have as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. **Understand the problem**:  
   We need to identify pairs of letters in the word **CHANNEL** such that the number of letters between them in the word matches the number of letters between them in the English alphabet.

2. **Analyze each pair**:  
   - **C and A**:  
     In the word, there is one letter (H) between C and A. In the English alphabet, there is also one letter (B) between C and A. This pair satisfies the condition.  
   - **L and N**:  
     In the word, there is one letter (E) between L and N. In the English alphabet, there is also one letter (M) between L and N. This pair satisfies the condition.

3. **Verify other pairs**:  
   No other pairs satisfy the condition.

4. **Conclusion**:  
   The two valid pairs are **AC** and **LN**, making a total of 2 pairs.

Thus, the correct answer is **(b) 2**.
