Dear friends i ofcourse confused like you when i come
across to solve this problem. Really friends its very
simple if you understand the question clearly. First thing
is what is mean by “as many as” means its called ‘idiom and
phrase’ in english and it means “the same number of”. now
read the question “how many pairs of letters in STAINLESS
which has same number of letters between them in the word
as they have in english alphabet”.
In the alphabetical order, A-Z can be numbered as 1-26.
In A(INL)E which is same as in the alphabetical order A
(BCD)E. In both the cases E is in the Fourth position. so
we got one pair.
And in ST, there are no letters between them in the word
stainless. In alphabetical orer from A-Z also there is no
letters between them..so we got the second pair…
In STAINLESS it has two pairs ST and AE

to reach land
first time it travels 8 mtrs
next time (half=4) 4+4 mtrs (up&down)
next time (half=4) 2+2 mtrs (up&down)
next time (half=4) 1+1 mtrs (up&down)
and so on.
Altogether,close to 24 mtrs.
To solve this problem, we can break it down into steps:
Step 1: Determine the individual rates of work for A, B, and C.
If A needs 8 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/8 of the task per day.
If B needs 12 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/12 of the task per day.
If C needs 16 days to finish the task, then their work rate is 1/16 of the task per day.
Step 2: Calculate the combined work rate of A and B.
If A works for 2 days, their contribution will be 2 * (1/8) = 1/4 of the task completed.
If B works until 25% of the job is left for C, then they will complete 75% of the task.
Step 3: Calculate the time it takes for B to complete 75% of the task.
Since B’s work rate is 1/12 of the task per day, it will take B (75%)/(1/12) = 9 days to complete 75% of the task.
Step 4: Calculate the remaining work for C.
If B completes 75% of the task, then the remaining work for C is 100% – 75% = 25% of the task.
Step 5: Calculate the time it takes for C to complete the remaining work.
Since C’s work rate is 1/16 of the task per day, it will take C (25%)/(1/16) = 4 days to complete the remaining 25% of the task.
Step 6: Calculate the total time required.
A worked for 2 days, B worked for 9 days, and C worked for 4 days, totaling 2 + 9 + 4 = 15 days.
Therefore, it will take a total of 15 days for A to work for 2 days, B to work until 25% of the job is left, and C to complete the remaining work.
