\n" ); document.write( "(3): 233, 234, 240

\n" ); document.write( "In base 10, 239 plus 1 is 240, because 9 is the largest digit in base 10. Similarly, in base 5, 234 plus 1 is 240, because 4 is the largest digit in base 5.

\n" ); document.write( "(4): 334, 340, 341

\n" ); document.write( "In base 10, 340 minus 1 is 339, because 0 is the smallest digit in base 10 and 9 is the largest. Similarly, in base 5, 340-1 = 334, because 0 is the smallest digit in base 5 and 4 is the largest.
