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

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 1

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).
