Why not like 3+3+1=7?

4+8+2=14,....like that, except 331 sum of each will return 2 digit value.

Then why not 331 would the answer?

3 + 3 + 1 = 7(Odd).
5 + 5 + 1 = 11(Odd).
2 + 6 + 3 = 11(Odd).
3 + 8 + 3 = 14(Even) - (Ans).
3 + 3 + 1 = 7(Odd).
5 + 5 + 1 = 11(Odd).

If you add 1 to every option it becomes a multiple of 3 except for 331. Then why can't we have 331 as the answer?

It can be 551 as well because only in this number the sum of the extreme two digits is greater than the middle digit.

2+6+3 = 11,
3+8+3 = 14,
3+3+1 = 7,
5+5+1 = 11.
Answer is 383 because only 14 is even number.

3+3+1=7.
4+8+2=14.
5+5+1=11.
2+6+3=11.
3+8+3=14.
3+6+2=11.
2+8+4=14.

It can be 331 because other all number add and get answer 11 & 14. and 7 are different.
