Analysis:
To find the value obtained by adding the highest digit of the lowest number to the sum of the highest and lowest digits of the highest number, we need to identify the lowest and highest numbers from the given set of numbers. Then, we can find the highest digit of the lowest number and the highest and lowest digits of the highest number. Finally, we add these three digits together to obtain the desired value.
Steps:
Step 1: Identify the lowest and highest numbers from the given set.
The given set of numbers is:
867, 495, 736, 592, 619
The lowest number is 495 and the highest number is 867.
Step 2: Find the highest digit of the lowest number.
The highest digit of the lowest number, 495, is 9.
Step 3: Find the highest and lowest digits of the highest number.
The highest digit of the highest number, 867, is 8.
The lowest digit of the highest number, 867, is 7.
Step 4: Add the highest digit of the lowest number to the sum of the highest and lowest digits of the highest number.
9 + (8 + 7) = 9 + 15 = 24
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value obtained by adding the highest digit of the lowest number to the sum of the highest and lowest digits of the highest number is 24. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (24).
