    Question

    If 2 is added to each odd digit and 1 is subtracted from each even digit in the number 23584617, how many digits will
    appear more than once in the new number thus formed?

    A.

    Three

    B.

    None

    C.

    One

    D.

    Two

    Correct option is A

    Given a number: 23584617.
    We are to:
    Add 2 to each odd digit
    Subtract 1 from each even digit
    Then, determine how many digits appear more than once in the resulting number.
    Step 1: Break down the digits
    Digits in the number:
    2, 3, 5, 8, 4, 6, 1, 7
    Step 2: Apply the transformation
    Even digits: 2, 8, 4, 6 → subtract 1
    Odd digits: 3, 5, 1, 7 → add 2
    So:
    2 → 1
    3 → 5
    5 → 7
    8 → 7
    4 → 3
    6 → 5
    1 → 3
    7 → 9
    Step 3: Transformed number:
    Digits after transformation:
    1, 5, 7, 7, 3, 5, 3, 9
    Step 4: Count frequencies
    3 → 2 times
    5 → 2 times
    7 → 2 times
    Step 5: Count digits that appear more than once
    Digits: 3, 5, 7 → 3 digits
     Final Answer: A. Three
