Answer:
Let the number be xyz
1) x is 9, so y+z=9
Ways : (9,0); (8,1);(7,2);(6,3);(5,4) ..
Each of the above 5 ways can be taken as 2 different arrangements.. 981 or 918
So 5*2=10
2) x is 8, so y+z=8
Ways : (8,0);(7,1);(6,2);(5,3);(4,4) ..
4 of the above 5 ways can be taken as 2 different arrangements..
So 4*2+1=9
3) x is 7, so y+z=7
Ways : (7,0);(6,1);(5,2);(4,3)
Each of the above 4 ways can be taken as 2 different arrangements..
So 4*2
4) x is 6, so y+z=6
Ways : (6,0);(5,1);(4,2);(3,3)....
3 of the above 4 ways can be taken as 2 different arrangements..
So 3*2+1=7
And so on
There is a pattern...
So 10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2=54
Last 2 is when x is 1...
101 or 110
So the answer is 54
