Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. The required sum = (3 x 3) + (7 x 3) + (7 x 3) + (6 x 3) + (5 x 3) + (5 x 3) = 99
Hence, the required answer is ‘99’.

S2. Ans. (c)
Sol.After addition and subtraction – 503 667 347 466 925 745
Hence, the required answer is ‘587’.

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol.After interchange – 243 857 627 836 485 665
The required sum – 836 + 243 = 1079

S4 Ans. (c)
Sol. After writing in ascending order – 234 578 267 368 458 566
Hence, the required answer is ‘665’.

S5 Ans. (b)
Sol.After interchange – 243 857 627 836 485 665
Hence, the required answer is ‘386’.
