Question

A 3 digit number is such that twice the hundreds digit is more than the tens digit by 2.The digit is thrice the hundreds digit.When the digits are reversed, the number is increased by 594.Find the number.

Answer 1

The number is -341

Explanation:

Let the three digit number be represented as 100a+10b+c

Given

2a -b = 2 ---(1)

a = 3c ----(2)

100a+10b+c - 100c -10b -a = 594

99a -99c = 594 ---(3)

From 2 & 3 , we get -

99*a - (99*3*a) = 594

99*2 a = 594

a = -3

a = 3c, c = -1

2*-3 -b = 2, b = -4

Number is -341
