Question

Answer

Interchanging the first and last letters

To find the number of meaningful English words formed in the new arrangement, we need to consider each word and check if it forms a meaningful word when the first and last letters are interchanged.

Word 1: HIT
When we interchange the first and last letters, we get 'TIH'. This does not form a meaningful English word.

Word 2: OAT
When we interchange the first and last letters, we get 'TAO'. This forms the word 'TAO', which is a meaningful English word.

Word 3: DON
When we interchange the first and last letters, we get 'NOD'. This forms the word 'NOD', which is a meaningful English word.

Word 4: FUN
When we interchange the first and last letters, we get 'NUF'. This does not form a meaningful English word.

Word 5: TOP
When we interchange the first and last letters, we get 'POT'. This forms the word 'POT', which is a meaningful English word.

Therefore, out of the five words, three words (OAT, DON, TOP) form meaningful English words when their first and last letters are interchanged.

Hence, the correct answer is option D) Three.
