72496 → 1315, 62134 → 97, 85316 → 167, find 28439 → ?
Answer:1412
Solution:
Step 1: Split the number into two parts – first three digits and last two digits.
Step 2: Add the digits in each part:
-
72496 → First part 7+2+4 = 13, Second part 9+6 = 15 → Combine → 1315
-
62134 → First part 6+2+1 = 9, Second part 3+4 = 7 → Combine → 97
-
85316 → First part 8+5+3 = 16, Second part 1+6 = 7 → Combine → 167
Step 3: Apply the same logic to 28439:
-
First part 2+8+4 = 14
-
Second part 3+9 = 12
-
Combine → 1412
