Input: 653, 963, 754, 345, 364, 861, 541
-
- 541, 345, 754, 963, 364, 816, 653
- 541, 345, 364, 653, 963, 754, 861
- 541, 345, 364, 963, 754, 861, 653
- 541, 345, 364, 653, 861, 754, 963
Correct Option: C
after a close look we can observe that it is the sum of the digits that plays main role here rather than the number itself.
From this given data we can observe the pattern that the number that has lowest sum of digits shifts its position towards left and this process continues.
541, 345, 364, 963, 754, 861, 653
