If 2 is added to each even digit and 2 is added to each odd digit in the number 7145362, what will be the sum of the last two and first two digits in the new number thus formed?

The correct answer is
24

Solving the Number Digit Transformation Problem

This problem requires us to modify a given number based on whether its digits are even or odd, and then perform a specific calculation on the resulting number. Let's break down the process step-by-step.

Understanding the Number Transformation Rules

We are given the number $7145362$. The rules for transformation are:

  • If a digit is even, we add 2 to it.
  • If a digit is odd, we add 2 to it.

We need to apply these rules to each digit of the number $7145362$.

Applying the Digit Rules

Let's identify each digit, its type (odd or even), and the result after applying the rule:

Original Digit Type Operation New Digit
7 Odd $7 + 2$ 9
1 Odd $1 + 2$ 3
4 Even $4 + 2$ 6
5 Odd $5 + 2$ 7
3 Odd $3 + 2$ 5
6 Even $6 + 2$ 8
2 Even $2 + 2$ 4

Forming the New Number

By replacing the original digits with the new digits in the same order, we form the new number. The original number was $7145362$. The transformed digits are $9, 3, 6, 7, 5, 8, 4$.

Therefore, the new number formed is $9367584$.

Calculating the Sum of Specific Digits

The question asks for the sum of the last two and first two digits in the new number.

  • The new number is $9367584$.
  • The first two digits are $9$ and $3$.
  • The last two digits are $8$ and $4$.

Now, we calculate the sum:

Sum = (First two digits sum) + (Last two digits sum)

Sum = $ (9 + 3) + (8 + 4) $

Sum = $ 12 + 12 $

Sum = $ 24 $

Final Answer Verification

The calculated sum is $24$. This matches one of the options provided.
