Question

The position(s) of how many letters will remain unchanged if each of the letters in the word ELECTRIC is arranged in reverse English alphabetical order?

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 2
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1

Word: ELECTRIC

Arrange letters in reverse alphabetical order (Z → A)

Letters: E L E C T R I C
Sorted (descending order):

T R L I E E C C

Compare positions

Original: E L E C T R I C
Reversed: T R L I E E C C

Now check matches position-wise:

1. E ≠ T

2. L ≠ R

3. E ≠ L

4. C ≠ I

5. T ≠ E

6. R ≠ E

7. I ≠ C

8. C ≠ C

   Count unchanged positions

Only the 8th position matches.

Final Answer: 1
