How many such letters are there in the word 'BEAUTIFUL' which remain in the same position if they are arranged in alphabetical order?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → One
The letters of BEAUTIFUL are written in alphabetical order under the word, and the two rows are compared position by position:
Word: B E A U T I F U L
Alphabetical order: A B E F I L T U U
Positions 1 to 7: B/A, E/B, A/E, U/F, T/I, I/L, F/T — all different
Position 8: U/U — the same
Position 9: L/U — different
Only U (the 8th letter) keeps its place, so the answer is one.
