This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.

(Left) 842 234 371 723 463 (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 the third digit of the highest number is added to the second digit of the lowest number?

A6

B4

C5

D7

Answer:

C. 5

Read Explanation:

The resultant is 5.

  1. Find the highest number: Looking at the list (842, 234, 371, 723, 463), the highest number is 842.

    • The third digit of 842 is 2.

  2. Find the lowest number: Looking at the list, the lowest number is 234.

    • The second digit of 234 is 3.

  3. Calculate the result: Add the two digits together:
    2+3=52 + 3 = \mathbf{5}
