This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.

(Left) 271 415 612 872 547 (Right)

(Example- 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7) (NOTE: All operations to be done from left to right.)

If all the numbers are arranged in descending order, the position(s) of how many numbers will remain unchanged?

A3

B1

C2

D0

Answer:

B. 1

Read Explanation:

The position of one number (872) will remain unchanged.

  1. Original Sequence (Left to Right):

    • Position 1: 271

    • Position 2: 415

    • Position 3: 612

    • Position 4: 872

    • Position 5: 547

  2. Arranged in Descending Order (Highest to Lowest):

    • Position 1: 872

    • Position 2: 612

    • Position 3: 547

    • Position 4: 872

    • Position 5: 271

Comparing the two lists, only 872 remains in the exact same position (4th position).
