An error where two adjacent digits are reversed.

• A. Transposition error
• B. Slide Error
• C. Auditor
• D. Management Accounting

Answer: (A)

Transposition error. It happens when two adjacent digits swap places in a number, so the digits are reversed in position while the rest of the number stays the same. This exactly matches “two adjacent digits are reversed.” In practice, this can occur during manual data entry, for example entering 58 as 85. The other terms aren’t types of data-entry errors: a slide error involves digits moving to a neighboring position, while auditor and management accounting refer to a person/role and a field, not an entry mistake.
