Q:

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) 253 B) 263
C) 273 D) 283
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 253

Explanation:

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.
