In this question, find out how many such pairs of letters are there in the given word each of which has as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet.
CREATIVE

In the word "CREATIVE," there are three pairs of letters that have the same number of letters separating them as in the English alphabet: C and E, T and V, as well as A and E.

Let’s identify the alphabetical positions of these letters.

C-3, R-18, E-5, A-1, T-20, I-9, V-22, E-5

Now, let’s examine the following pairs:

i.) C and the first E: There is one letter (R) between C and E in the word, and one letter (D) between C and E in the alphabet.

ii.) T and V: There is one letter (I) separating T and V in the word, while one letter (U) is between T and V in the alphabet.

iii.) A and the first E: There are three letters (T, I, V) between A and E in the word, and there are three letters (B, C, D) separating A and E in the alphabet.

So, in total there are 3 pairs.
