2) Answer: C
3) Answer: E
4) Answer: B
5) Answer: A
Directions (6-8) :
6) Answer: B
We have:
34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827
After rearranging digits within 5-digt number we have:
23456, 35679, 34678, 24568, 23478
2nd lowest number after rearrangement = 23478
Sum of digits of “23478” = 24
2nd highest number after rearrangement = 34678
Sum of digits of “34678” = 28
Required difference = (28 – 24) = 4
Hence, option B is correct choice.
7) Answer: E
We have:
34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827
After subtracted ‘2’ is subtracted from 1st, 3rd& 5th digits and ‘1’ is subtracted from 2nd& 4th digits, we have:
13053, 16384, 27155, 44072, 22615
Thus, only one such number are possible = 16384.
Hence, option E is correct choice.
8) Answer: A
We have:
34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827
After interchanging 1st and 3rd& 2nd and 5th digits we have:
25364, 56397, 37468, 24685, 87423
2nd lowest number after rearrangement = 25364
2nd highest number after rearrangement = 56397
Required difference = (56397 – 25364) = 31033
Hence, option A is correct choice.
9) Answer: E
