Lets count 1 to 9.
1 = one. But n & e are in wrong order.
2 = two. But w & o are in wrong order.
3 = three. But t & h are in wrong order.
4 = four. But u & r are in wrong order.
5 = five. But v & e are in wrong order.
6 = six. But i & x are in wrong order.
7 = seven. But v & e are in wrong order.
8 = eight. But i & g are in wrong order.
9 = nine. But n & e are in wrong order.
So, we can conclude that any number which has its units digit 1 - 9 would not be the answer.
Now, we check numbers that are multiples of 10.
10 = ten. But t & e are in wrong order.
20 = twenty. But w & e are in wrong order.
30 = thirty. But t & h are in wrong order.
40 = forty. All alphabets are in correct order.
Since, 40 is the first answer we got, it is the smallest number.
So, the solution of the question is 4 0 .
Hope you like my answer :-)
