To change the selected value of a drop-down list with jQuery , you can use the val() method, as demonstrated in this example: 



<select id="my-select">
  <option value="option1">Option 1</option>
  <option value="option2">Option 2</option>
  <option value="option3">Option 3</option>
</select>

<button id="change-btn">Change selection</button>

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#change-btn').click(function() {
      // Change the selected value of the drop-down list to "option2"
      $('#my-select').val('option2');
    });
  });

</script>
In this example, we have a drop-down list with the id my-select, and a button with the id change-btn . When the button is clicked, the val() method is used to change the selected value of the drop-down list to "option2".

It's worth noting that the $( document ).ready() function is used to ensure that the DOM is fully loaded before manipulating it. Additionally, we include a reference to the jQuery library from a CDN. You can customize this approach to fit your specific use case.
