the greatest number is 9,86,54,210. We arrange the given digits in ascending order to form the smallest number. Hence, the smallest number is 1,02,45,689.
Formation of Greatest and Smallest Numbers.
To Form the Greatest NumberTo Form the Smallest Number
The smallest digit in the ones place that is 3.The next smallest digit in the ones place that is 9.
We see that 32 + 8 = 40 and 32 – 8 = 24. Now let us check this rule for one more term. We see that 16 + 8 = 24. Therefore this works for more than half of the given numbers. Hence the rule is correct. Therefore the missing number in the series is 16 – 8 = 8. The answer is 8.
