Answers:
(Directions 1–3):
We have given input:
From above logical steps we get following results for given input:
Step I: In this step following logic is applied:
Final result can be determined by difference = (73 – 41) = 32
Step II: In this step following logic is applied:
Final result can be determined by difference = (65 – 13) = 52
Step III: In this step following logic is applied:
Final result can be determined by interchanging digits of result.
Step IV: In this step following logic is applied:
Difference = (16 – 4) = 12.
Final result can be determined by interchanging digits of result obtained.
From above logical steps we get following results for given input:
1) Answer: c)
Required sum of digits = (5 + 4) = 9
Hence, option C is correct choice.
2) Answer: e)
Clearly, 19 is second lowest in step I.
