Question

If $3$ is subtracted from the middle digit of each of the following numbers and then the positions of the digits are reversed, which of the following will be the last digit of the middle number after they are arranged in the descending order?
$589,362,554,371,442$

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$

On subtracting $3$ from the middle digits, the numbers become : $559,332,524,341,412$
Now, on reversing the positions of digits, we have : $955,233,425,143,214$
Arranging these numbers in descending order, we have :$955,425,233,214,143$
The middle number is $233$ and its last digit is $3$.
