Answer 1

Given: (Left) 164 253 927 834 519 (Right)

According to the question:

Given numbers	164	253	927	834	519
2 is added to the second digit of every number	+2	+2	+2	+2	+2
Resultant numbers	184	273	947	854	539
If the second digit be exactly divided by the first digit of that number	8 ÷ 1	7 ÷ 2	4 ÷ 9	5 ÷ 8	3 ÷ 5
Required answer	8 ⇒ Divisible	Not divisible	Not divisible	Not divisible	Not divisible

Thus, according to the final arrangement, in only one number will the second digit be exactly divided by the first digit of that number.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.
