Question

Gandhidham bakery and the digits of a three digit number are in ap and the sum of the three digits is 15 the number obtained by reversing the digits is 594 less than the original number find the number

Answer 1

Answer: 852

Step-by-step explanation:

let a, b and c be the hundreds, tens and ones digit respectively

since a, b and c are in AP and their sum is 15, then 3b=15

so b=5

The number is 100a+10b+c

Given, the number obtained by reversing the digits is 594 less than the original number

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

99a-99c=594

a-c=6-----(1)

a+c=15-5=10----(2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

a=8 and c=2

So the number is 852
