Solutions

Solution (1-5):
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. After operation – 8462 6527 9328 3582 9496
Hence, there is one number (8462) which has more than two even digits.

S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. Decreasing order – 8532 7641 9821 7432 9863
3rd digit of 2nd number = 4, 2nd digit of 5th number = 8, So, required sum = 4 + 8 = 12

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. After operation – 18 18 20 16 26
Hence, 3472 obtains the lower sum.

S10. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given series: 2 N 2 9 Z 7 X 6 5 P 4 P 5 3 A H 7 K 4 6 G 1 7 O 2 P H 8 2
4th number from the left end = 7, 5th number from the right end = 1
Hence, there are seven letters between them.
