Number Sequences
1➤ Direction (Qs.1 to 5): Following questions are based on the five three digit numbers given below:
853 581 747 474 398
If all the digits in each of the numbers are arranged in descending order within the number, which of the following will form the lowest in the new arrangement of numbers?
(1) 853
(2) 581
(3) 747
(4) 398
(5) 474
Ans (5): 474
Given series : 853 581 747 474 398
After the rearrangement : 853 851 774 744 983
The Lowest number is 744 i.e., 474
2➤ If all the numbers are arranged in ascending order from left to right, which of the following will be the sum of all the three digits of the number which is exactly in the middle of the new arrangement?
(1) 17
(2) 15
(3) 14
(4) 13
(5) 19
Ans (3): 14
Given series : 853 581 747 474 398
Ascending order : 398 474 581 747 853
Middle number ⇒ 581
Sum of the digits ⇒ 5 + 8 + 1 = 14
3➤ What will be the resultant if third digit of the lowest number is multiplied with the second digit of the highest number?
(1) 27
(2) 40
(3) 20
(4) 45
(5) 19
Ans (2): 40
Third digit of the lowest number (398) = 8
Second digit of the highest number (853) = 5
Required resultant = 8 × 5 = 40
4➤ If the positions of the second and the third digits of each of the numbers are interchanged, how many even numbers will be formed?
(1) Two
(2) One
(3) None
(4) Three
(5) Four
Ans (2): 40
Third digit of the lowest number (398) = 8
Second digit of the highest number (853) = 5
Required resultant = 8 × 5 = 40
5➤ If one is added to the first digit it of each of the numbers, how many numbers thus formed will be divisible by three?
(1) None
(2) One
(3) Three
(4) Two
(5) Four
