Q98

A number consists of 3 digits whose sum is 10. The middle digit is equal to the sum of the other two and the number will be increased by 99 if its digits are reversed. The number is :

A.
145
B.
253
Answer
C.
370
D.
352

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the middle digit be x
Then,
2x = 10 or x = 5
So, the number is either 253 or 352
Since the number increases on reversing the digits, so the hundred's digit is smaller than the unit's digit.
Hence, required number = 253
