If the letters in the word ‘PALINDRONE’ are rearranged as they appear in the English alphabet, then the position of how many letters will remain unchanged after the rearrangement?
Answer: D
Arrange the letters of PALINDRONE alphabetically: A, D, E, I, L, N, N, O, P, R. Compare each place with the original word P, A, L, I, N, D, R, O, N, E. The 4th place is I in both, and the 8th place is O in both. No other place matches, because the 1st is P against A, the 2nd A against D, the 3rd L against E, the 5th N against L, the 6th D against N, the 7th R against N, the 9th N against P and the 10th E against R. So 2 letters keep their positions, option (D). The options 1, 3 and 0 miss or add a match.
