Question

Transposition errors occur when the digits in a number are accidentally reversed. The number with the largest difference between its digits is therefore more likely to be the result of a transposition error. In this case, the number 252 stands out as having the largest difference between its digits (5 and 2), so it is the most likely to be a result of a transposition error.
