First write the word in alphabetical order, then count the alphabetical position of the required 4th letter from left and 3rd letter from right, and finally find the number of letters between them.
Step 1: Arrange letters in alphabetical order
The given word is COINAGE. Arranging all its letters in English alphabetical order gives: A, C, E, G, I, N, O.
Step 2: Identify the required target letters
The 4th letter from the left in the new arrangement (A C E G I N O) is G. The 3rd letter from the right is N.
Step 3: Count letters between G and N
In the English alphabet series, the letters between G (7th) and N (14th) are H, I, J, K, L, M, which are 6 letters in total.
A: Represents incorrect letter count or mismatch with the calculated value. B: Represents incorrect letter count or mismatch with the calculated value. C: Represents incorrect letter count or mismatch with the calculated value. D: Correctly matches the required word representation for the final count.
D is correct because the letter 4th from the left is G and 3rd from the right is N, and between G and N there are 6 letters, which corresponds to the value represented in Option D.
Always carefully read whether positions are asked from the left or right end to avoid silly counting mistakes.
