Explanation:

Correct option:1

Explanation:

The logic followed here is:
Step I: The second and third digits of each number are interchanged with the fifth and sixth digits respectively.
Step II: The numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Step III: In each number, the odd digits are arranged in ascending order followed by the arrangement of even digits in ascending order.
Step IV: The first and last digits are added and their sum is placed as the first digit This operation is performed with every 6-digit input number.
Step V: The 5-digit numbers obtained in step IV are arranged in ascending order.
Input 214261 130145 333421 715620 312451 123456
Step I: 261214 145130 321433 720615 351412 156423
Step II: 145130 156423 261214 321433 351412 720615
Step III: 113504 135246 112246 133324 113524 157026
Step IV: 51350 73524 71224 53332 51352 75702
Step V: 51350 51352 53332 71224 73524 75702
Step V is the final arrangement.

The extreme left number in Step 1=261214
The sum of the digits =16

Hence 16 is the correct answer.
