Arrange the word in alphabetical order: ADOPST
A_ _ _ _ _=5!=120
so the required word will be in 120 words only
AD_ _ _ _=4!=24
AO_ _ _ _=4!=24(Here 24+24 =48, the required work before this )
AOD_ _ _ =3!=6(24+6=30)
AOP_ _ _=3!=6 => (36TH LETTER)
AOS_ _ _= 3!=6 => 42TH WORD
So 42th word: AOSDPT

Nivedhidha  (9 years ago)

A _ _ _ _ _ = 5!(not possible)
AD_ _ _ _ =4! = 24
A O _ _ _ _ =4!= 24
24+24= 48(not a possible rank)
A O D _ _ _ = 3! =6
A O P _ _ _ =3!= 6
A O S _ _ _ =3!=6
Total is 42.
hence the word in 42nd rank is A O S D P T
