Option C

13

Solution :

The correct answer is 13.

Let us break down the steps to find the number of letters between the two specific letters in English alphabetical order.

Step 1: Identify the given sequence of words/letter clusters.
The given sequence from left to right is:
(left) ADS DUG AGS BEG (right)

Step 2: Find the "second word/letter cluster from the right".
Moving from right to left:
- The first cluster from the right is BEG.
- The second cluster from the right is AGS.
The second letter of this cluster (AGS) is G.

Step 3: Find the "second word/letter cluster from the left".
Moving from left to right:
- The first cluster from the left is ADS.
- The second cluster from the left is DUG.
The second letter of this cluster (DUG) is U.

Step 4: Count the number of letters between G and U in English alphabetical order.
The English alphabet is: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.
The letters lying strictly between G and U are:
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T

Counting these letters: H(1), I(2), J(3), K(4), L(5), M(6), N(7), O(8), P(9), Q(10), R(11), S(12), T(13).
There are exactly 13 letters between G and U.
