    Solution

    First, let's transform the word "CAPSULE" according to the given instructions: • C -> D • A -> Z • P -> Q • S -> T • U -> T • L -> M • E -> D So, the new word formed is "DZQT TMD". Now, the alphabet which is 3rd from the left is "Q", and the alphabet which is 3rd from the right is "T". Counting the alphabets in the English alphabetical series between Q and T (exclusive of Q and T themselves) gives us: R, S. Thus, there are 2 alphabets between Q and T in the English alphabetical series. The correct answer is: 4. Two
