3) Answer: E

4) Answer: B

5) Answer: A

Directions (6-8) :

6) Answer: B

We have:

34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827

After rearranging digits within 5-digt number we have:

23456, 35679, 34678, 24568, 23478

2nd lowest number after rearrangement = 23478

Sum of digits of “23478” = 24

2nd highest number after rearrangement = 34678

Sum of digits of “34678” = 28

Required difference = (28 – 24) = 4

Hence, option B is correct choice.

7) Answer: E

We have:

34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827

After subtracted ‘2’ is subtracted from 1st, 3rd& 5th digits and ‘1’ is subtracted from 2nd& 4th digits, we have:

13053, 16384, 27155, 44072, 22615

Thus, only one such number are possible = 16384.

Hence, option E is correct choice.

8) Answer: A

We have:

34265, 37596, 48367, 65284, 43827

After interchanging 1st and 3rd& 2nd and 5th digits we have:

25364, 56397, 37468, 24685, 87423

2nd lowest number after rearrangement = 25364

2nd highest number after rearrangement = 56397

Required difference = (56397 – 25364) = 31033

Hence, option A is correct choice.
