Digit Transformation and Sum Calculation

Follow these steps to find the required sum:

Step 1: Apply Digit Transformations

Modify each digit in the number "7846921453" based on the rules: increase even digits by 1 and decrease odd digits by 1.

  • 7 (odd) becomes 7 - 1 = 6
  • 8 (even) becomes 8 + 1 = 9
  • 4 (even) becomes 4 + 1 = 5
  • 6 (even) becomes 6 + 1 = 7
  • 9 (odd) becomes 9 - 1 = 8
  • 2 (even) becomes 2 + 1 = 3
  • 1 (odd) becomes 1 - 1 = 0
  • 4 (even) becomes 4 + 1 = 5
  • 5 (odd) becomes 5 - 1 = 4
  • 3 (odd) becomes 3 - 1 = 2

The transformed digits are: 6, 9, 5, 7, 8, 3, 0, 5, 4, 2.

Step 2: Arrange Digits in Descending Order

Sort the transformed digits from largest to smallest (descending order):

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0

Step 3: Identify the Last Five Digits (from the right end)

In a descending sequence, the "last five digits from the right end" refers to the five largest digits. These are the first five digits in the sorted list:

9, 8, 7, 6, 5

Step 4: Calculate the Sum

Add the identified five digits:

Sum = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5

Sum = 35
