If second digit will be interchanged with third digit in each number, then which number will be the second highest number after rearrangement?

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

574

The problem requires us to interchange the second and third digits of the given five three-digit numbers and then identify which original number becomes the second highest after this rearrangement.

Step-by-Step Digit Interchange and Analysis

The given five three-digit numbers are:

  • 453
  • 619
  • 574
  • 471
  • 372

Let's interchange the second and third digits for each number:

  • For 453, interchanging the second digit (5) and the third digit (3) gives 435.
  • For 619, interchanging the second digit (1) and the third digit (9) gives 691.
  • For 574, interchanging the second digit (7) and the third digit (4) gives 547.
  • For 471, interchanging the second digit (7) and the third digit (1) gives 417.
  • For 372, interchanging the second digit (7) and the third digit (2) gives 327.

The new set of numbers after the digit interchange is:

  • 435
  • 691
  • 547
  • 417
  • 327

Finding the Second Highest Number

To find the second highest number, we need to arrange the rearranged numbers in descending order:

Rearranged Number Original Number
691 619
547 574
435 453
417 471
327 372

Arranging the rearranged numbers in descending order:

  1. 691
  2. 547
  3. 435
  4. 417
  5. 327

The highest number after rearrangement is 691.

The second highest number after rearrangement is 547.

Now, we need to identify which of the original numbers corresponds to the rearranged number 547.

The original number 574 becomes 547 after the interchange of its second and third digits.

Therefore, the number 574 will be the second highest number after the rearrangement.
