Step 1: Interchange the first and third digits of each number.

Original numbers: 283, 347, 518, 829, 748, 827

After interchanging:

  • 283 → 382
  • 347 → 743
  • 518 → 815
  • 829 → 928
  • 748 → 847
  • 827 → 728

Step 2: Arrange the new numbers in ascending order.

New numbers: 382, 728, 743, 815, 847, 928

Ascending order: 382, 728, 743, 815, 847, 928

Step 3: Identify the third lowest number.

The third lowest number is 743.

Step 4: Find the original number corresponding to the third lowest number.

743 corresponds to the original number 347.

Answer: The third lowest number after interchanging digits is 743, which comes from the original number 347.
