This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.
(Left) 235 879 584 635 159 (Right)
(Example- 697 - First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7)
NOTE - All operations to be done from left to right.
What will be the resultant if third digit of the highest number is added to the second digit of lowest number?

The correct answer is
14

Solution: Calculating the Resultant

The question asks for the sum of the third digit of the highest number and the second digit of the lowest number from the given list.

1. Identify Highest and Lowest Numbers

The given five, three-digit numbers are:

  • 235
  • 879
  • 584
  • 635
  • 159

Comparing these numbers:

  • The highest number is 879.
  • The lowest number is 159.

2. Extract Required Digits

From the highest number (879):

  • The third digit is 9.

From the lowest number (159):

  • The second digit is 5.

3. Perform Addition

Add the extracted digits:

Third digit of highest number + Second digit of lowest number

$9 + 5 = 14$

The resultant is 14.

Important Questions from Number Arrangement

  1. In the following number sequence, how many times an odd number is immediately followed by an even number?

    5 3 8 4 7 9 6 5 3 9 2 7 8 2 1 4 5 6 3 8 2 6 5 8 6 7

  2. Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the given sets.

    ( NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits.

    E.g. 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

    (5, 60, 70)

    (9, 108, 126)

  3. How many 5's are there in the given sequence which are neither immediately preceded by 1 nor immediately followed by 3?

    1 3 5 5 3 1 4 8 3 6 7 7 1 5 3 1 5 3 8

  4. Look at this series: G2, J8 _______ P32, S50 So what would be appropriate to fill in the blanks?

    A. M12

    B. H12

    C. N10

    D. Q10

  5. Read the following numbers carefully and answer the questions as per direction given after the number series:

    289 496 337 268 245

    If all the digits are to be arranged in increasing order from left to right within the number, then what will be the difference between the highest number and the lowest number thus obtained?
