(Left) 567 154 264 614 328 (Right)
(Example- 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7)
What will be the resultant if third digit of the highest number is added to the second digit of lowest number?
5
8
6
9
9
Identify the highest number (614) and lowest number (154) first, then pick the required digits (3rd of high, 2nd of low) and sum them.
Identify the highest number (614) and lowest number (154) first, then pick the required digits (3rd of high, 2nd of low) and sum them.
Identify Key Numbers
From the list (567, 154, 264, 614, 328), the highest number is 614 and the lowest number is 154.
Extract Specific Digits
The third digit of the highest number (614) is 4. The second digit of the lowest number (154) is 5.
Perform Addition
Add the identified digits: 4 + 5 = 9.
A: 5 is the second digit of 154, not the resultant. B: 8 is incorrect as it does not equal the sum of the digits. C: 6 is the first digit of the highest number, not the resultant.
D is correct because the third digit of the highest number (614) is 4 and the second digit of the lowest number (154) is 5, which sum to 9.
Always double-check digit placement rules (Left vs Right). In these questions, 'First digit' refers to the hundreds place, 'Second' to tens, and 'Third' to units.
