Direction: The following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below.
If positions of the second and third digit of a number are interchanged, then which number will be fourth if arranged in ascending order?
569
Understanding the Number Transformation
The problem asks us to modify a set of five three-digit numbers by interchanging the positions of their second and third digits. The original numbers given are:
- 420
- 885
- 290
- 569
- 182
Interchanging Digits
Let's perform the digit interchange for each number:
- For 420, interchanging the second (2) and third (0) digits gives 402.
- For 885, interchanging the second (8) and third (5) digits gives 858.
- For 290, interchanging the second (9) and third (0) digits gives 209.
- For 569, interchanging the second (6) and third (9) digits gives 596.
- For 182, interchanging the second (8) and third (2) digits gives 128.
The new set of numbers after the interchange is: 402, 858, 209, 596, 128.
Arranging Numbers in Ascending Order
Now, we need to arrange these modified numbers in ascending (smallest to largest) order:
- 128
- 209
- 402
- 596
- 858
Identifying the Fourth Number
The question asks for the fourth number in this arranged sequence. Looking at the sorted list:
- The first number is 128.
- The second number is 209.
- The third number is 402.
- The fourth number is 596.
- The fifth number is 858.
The fourth number in the ascending order is 596.
Finding the Original Number
Finally, we need to identify which of the original numbers became 596 after the digit interchange. The number 596 was derived from the original number 569.
Therefore, if the positions of the second and third digits are interchanged, the number 569 will be fourth when the resulting numbers are arranged in ascending order.
