This question is based on the five, three-digit numbers given below.
(Left) 694 874 742 459 648 (Right)
(Example- 697 – First digit = 6, second digit = 9 and third digit = 7)
What will be the resultant if second digit of the highest number is added to the third
digit of lowest number?

The correct answer is 16.

Let's break down the problem step-by-step to find the required resultant.

Step 1: Understand the given set of numbers
We are given five three-digit numbers: 694, 874, 742, 459, 648.

Step 2: Identify the highest number and its second digit
Comparing all five numbers (694, 874, 742, 459, 648):
The highest number is 874.
The digits of 874 are:
- First digit = 8
- Second digit = 7
- Third digit = 4
So, the second digit of the highest number is 7.

Step 3: Identify the lowest number and its third digit
Comparing all five numbers (694, 874, 742, 459, 648):
The lowest number is 459.
The digits of 459 are:
- First digit = 4
- Second digit = 5
- Third digit = 9
So, the third digit of the lowest number is 9.

Step 4: Calculate the resultant
We need to add the second digit of the highest number to the third digit of the lowest number:

$\text{Resultant}=7+9=16$

Therefore, the resultant value is 16.
