Digit Transformation Process

The original number is 7815642. The task involves modifying each digit based on whether it's odd or even:

  • Add 2 to each odd digit.
  • Subtract 1 from each even digit.

Let's apply these rules to the number 7815642:

Original Digit Odd/Even Operation New Digit
7 Odd \(7 + 2\) 9
8 Even \(8 - 1\) 7
1 Odd \(1 + 2\) 3
5 Odd \(5 + 2\) 7
6 Even \(6 - 1\) 5
4 Even \(4 - 1\) 3
2 Even \(2 - 1\) 1

The sequence of transformed digits forms the new number: 9737531.

Identifying the Target Digit

The question asks for the digit that is third from the left in the transformed number (9737531).

  • 1st digit from left: 9
  • 2nd digit from left: 7
  • 3rd digit from left: 3

Therefore, the digit third from the left is 3.
