Correct Answer: Three


Solution : Given:
ETHICAL

Add 1 to the place value of each vowel and subtract 1 from the place value of each consonant of the word ETHICAL –
E + 1 = F; T – 1 = S; H – 1 = G; I + 1 = J; C – 1 = B; A + 1 = B; L – 1 = K
So, the newly formed letter cluster is FSGJBBK.
The letter that is 3 rd from the left is G (FS G JBBK) and the letter that is 1 st from the right is K (FSGJBB K ). The letters between G and K, according to the alphabetical series are H, I, J.

So, there are a total of three alphabets. Hence, the second option is correct.
