Question

In the following set of numbers, if 1 is added to the last digit and then the order of digits is reversed, which number will be fourth if arranged in ascending order?
567 284 696 865 738

• A. 567
• B. 284
• C. 865
• D. 738

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

567

Here the given numbers are
567 284 696 865 738
When 1 is added to the last digit of each of the above numbers, it becomes as follows :
568 285 697 866 739
After reversing the order of digits , we get
865 582 796 668 937
Now , when the numbers are arranged in ascending order their order becomes as follows:
582 668 796 865 937
Hence , the fourth number is 865 (a number formed by 567). Therefore option(1) is correct answer.
