Correct Answer :

Option A

11

Solution :

The correct answer is 11.

Let's break down the solution step-by-step to find the number of letters in the English alphabetical order between the specified letters.

Step 1: Identify the given words.
The given sequence of words is:
OUT   USE   TUG   RIP

Step 2: Find the first word from the right and its second letter.
Looking at the sequence from right to left, the first word is RIP.
The second letter of this word is I.

Step 3: Find the first word from the left and its second letter.
Looking at the sequence from left to right, the first word is OUT.
The second letter of this word is U.

Step 4: Count the letters between "I" and "U" in the English alphabetical order.
Let us write down the English alphabet starting from I to U:
I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U

The letters strictly between I and U are:
J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T

Counting these letters, we get:
1 (J), 2 (K), 3 (L), 4 (M), 5 (N), 6 (O), 7 (P), 8 (Q), 9 (R), 10 (S), 11 (T).

Therefore, there are exactly 11 letters between them.
