Case (1) is the final answer.

1) Answer: D

2) Answer: C

3) Answer: D

4) Answer: B

5) Answer: A

6) Answer: C

all the digits of the number are written in ascending order within the number, then we will get the below sequence.

Sum of the middle digits of all the numbers = 4 + 4 + 7 + 4 + 4 = 23


7) Answer: B

all the digits of the number are written in descending order within the number, then we will get the below sequence.

The second-lowest number is 641.


8) Answer: D

924 >72> 641 > 534 > 374

3rd digit of 2nd highest number = 9

2nd digit of 2nd lowest number = 3

So, 9/3 = 3


9) Answer: C

374=> 3+4 = 7

534=> 5+4 = 9

729=> 7+9 = 16

924=> 9+4 = 13

641=> 6+1 = 7

So, 534 is the answer.


10) Answer: B

If 1 is added to the 2nd digit of each number, then we will get the following sequence.

Here, only two numbers 384 and 651 are divisible by 3.
