Solutions

Solution (6-10):
The numbers are arranged as the number whose sum of the digits is highest is arranged on the extreme left in the Step I after that the number whose sum of the digits is second highest is arranged the right of the number arranged in step I.
As the digits sum of both ‘84’ and ‘93’ is same, then the highest number i.e., 93 will be arranged first.
