Each of the digits in the number 513946287 is arranged in ascending order from left to right. What will be the sum of the digits which are second from the left and third from the right in the new number thus formed?

The correct answer is
9

Understanding the Digit Rearrangement Problem

The question asks us to first rearrange the digits of a given number, 513946287, in ascending order. After forming the new number, we need to find the sum of two specific digits: the one that is second from the left and the one that is third from the right.

Step 1: Identify and List the Digits

The original number is 513946287. Let's list all the digits present in this number:

  • 5
  • 1
  • 3
  • 9
  • 4
  • 6
  • 2
  • 8
  • 7

Step 2: Arrange Digits in Ascending Order

Ascending order means arranging the digits from the smallest to the largest. Sorting the digits listed above, we get:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

This sequence forms the new number when arranged from left to right.

Step 3: Form the New Number

Using the sorted digits, the new number formed is:

123456789

Step 4: Identify the Required Digits

Now, we need to find two specific digits in this new number (123456789):

  • Second digit from the left: Counting from the left, the first digit is 1, and the second digit is 2.
  • Third digit from the right: Counting from the right, the first digit is 9, the second is 8, and the third digit is 7.

Step 5: Calculate the Sum

The final step is to calculate the sum of the two identified digits (2 and 7).

Sum = Second digit from left + Third digit from right

Using LaTeX notation for the calculation:

Sum = $2 + 7$

Sum = $9$

Conclusion

Therefore, the sum of the digit second from the left and the digit third from the right in the newly formed number (123456789) is 9.
