This question was previously asked in
RBI Assistant Prelims Memory Based Paper (27 March 2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

619

Numbers Rearrangement Logic Explained

The problem requires us to take five given three-digit numbers. For each number, we need to rearrange its digits in descending order. After performing this rearrangement for all the numbers, the goal is to find the largest number among the newly formed set of numbers.

Given Numbers

The set of five three-digit numbers provided is:

  • 453
  • 619
  • 574
  • 471
  • 372

Performing Descending Digit Arrangement

Let's arrange the digits of each number in descending order:

Original Number Digits Digits in Descending Order New Number
453 4, 5, 3 5, 4, 3 543
619 6, 1, 9 9, 6, 1 961
574 5, 7, 4 7, 5, 4 754
471 4, 7, 1 7, 4, 1 741
372 3, 7, 2 7, 3, 2 732

Highest Number Identification

After rearranging the digits in descending order, the new numbers formed are:

  • 543 (from 453)
  • 961 (from 619)
  • 754 (from 574)
  • 741 (from 471)
  • 732 (from 372)

To find the highest number among these, we compare them:

Comparing 543, 961, 754, 741, and 732, the largest value is 961.

Relating Back to Original Numbers and Options

The number 961 was obtained by rearranging the digits of the original number 619. Therefore, the original number that yields the highest value after the described digit rearrangement is 619.
