If 1 is added to each odd digit and 2 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 7421836, what will be the difference of the digits which are second from the left and second from the right in the new number thus formed?

The correct answer is

2

Apply the rule digit by digit to 7421836: an odd digit gets +1 and an even digit gets –2.

Original digit7421836
Odd/EvenOddEvenEvenOddEvenOddEven
Operation+1–2–2+1–2+1–2
New digit8202644

The new number is 8202644. The second digit from the left is 2 and the second digit from the right is 4.

The difference of these digits is 4 – 2 = 2.

Check: the second digit from the left of 7421836 is 4 (even) → 4 – 2 = 2, and the second digit from the right is 3 (odd) → 3 + 1 = 4; 4 – 2 = 2.

Hence, 2.
