@All
As per my logic;
396 ------>3+6=9.
427-----> 4+7=11 but here we have 2 in where it should be eleven in the 2nd digit apply this logic.

There is another method to solve this which is that the sum of all the digits of a number except 427 is even.

Subtract second integer from first integer we get sum.
For ex:-
572 = 7-5 = 2;
462 = 6-4 = 2;
Like this.

Just check the divisibility rule of 2. All digits are divisible by 2 except 671. So why not 671?

427 is the only number that if each digit is added together, it is not an even number.

3+6+9
4+2 = 6.
5+2 = 7.
But 4+7 is not equal to 2.
So this 427 is the correct answer.
4+2 = 6.
5+2 = 7.
But 4+7 is not equal to 2.
So this 427 is the correct answer.
