Find the sum of smallest three digit even number and greatest three-digit odd number using the digits $6,2,3$

• A. $859$
• B. $958$
• C. $598$
• D. $985$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $859$

The three digit numbers that can be formed using the digits $6,2,3$ are $623,632,263,236,362,326$ in which the odd numbers are $623,263$ and the even numbers are $632,236,362,326$.

The smallest even number is $236$ and the greatest odd number is $623$ and their sum can be determined as:

$236+623=859$

Hence, the sum of smallest three digit even number and greatest three-digit odd number using the digits $6,2,3$ is $859$.
