Solutions

S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. exactly middle- 625 after arranging in the ascending order
Product of the first and the last digit of 625= 6×5= 30

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. 434 is the second lowest number after arranging the first and last digit of each of the numbers
Sum of all digits= 4 + 3 + 4 = 11

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. 288 is the lowest one
Required difference = 8 – 2 = 6

S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. first digit of the highest number = 9, Third digit of the lowest number = 9: So, 9/9 = 1

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. 922 is the second highest number after arranging the digits in descending order.
