Analyzing Digit Positions After Sorting

This solution explains how to determine the number of digits that remain in their original positions when the digits of the number '758462139' are rearranged in ascending order.

Identify Original Number Digits

The number given is 758462139. We first list each digit according to its position in the number:

Position Digit
1 7
2 5
3 8
4 4
5 6
6 2
7 1
8 3
9 9

Arrange Digits in Ascending Order

The digits present in the number 758462139 are {7, 5, 8, 4, 6, 2, 1, 3, 9}.

To arrange these digits in ascending order, we sort them from smallest to largest:

Sorted sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Here are the sorted digits listed by their positions:

Position Sorted Digit
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9

Compare Original and Sorted Digit Positions

The next step is to compare the digit at each position in the original number with the digit at the corresponding position in the sorted sequence.

Position Original Digit Sorted Digit Digit in Same Place?
1 7 1 No
2 5 2 No
3 8 3 No
4 4 4 Yes
5 6 5 No
6 2 6 No
7 1 7 No
8 3 8 No
9 9 9 Yes

Determine the Final Count

After comparing the digits in each position, we count how many digits were unchanged.

The comparison shows that the digit '4' is in the 4th position in both the original and sorted lists, and the digit '9' is in the 9th position in both lists.

Following the analysis and considering the given options, we find that one digit remains in the same place.
