Solution
The correct option is E None of these The new number formed is 4 5 7 2 9. ∴ Required sum of the digits = 4+5+7+2+9 = 27 Alternative method: sum of the digits of the given number 54638 is 26. There are two odd numbers and three even numbers. Since an odd number is decreased by 1 and even number is increased by 1 so the net increase in the sum of the digits is 3 - 2 i.e. 1 Hence the new sum is 26 + 1 i.e. 27.
