So, there is no vowel in the word. Hence, option E is correct answer.

S12. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given number – 5526734473
After adding 2 to even digits, we get- 5548736673
Ascending order – 3345566778
So, the sixth digit from right end is 5.

S13. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given Number – 987654321
After operation – 896745230
Ascending order – 023456789
