The digits of a positive integer, having three digits are in A. P and their sum is 15.The number obtained by reversing the digits is 594 less than the original number. Find the number ​

Answer»

AnswEr:-

Three digits number = 852

\rule{200}{2}

Let the three digits of the number be a, a + d & a + 2d as they are in A.P

Number = a + 10(a + d) + 100(a + 2d)

Case 1:-

⇒ a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) = 15

⇒ a + a + d + a + 2d = 15

⇒ 3a + 3D = 15

⇒ 3(a + d) = 15

⇒ a + d = 15/3

a + d = 5 [Eq.1]

Case 2:-

Number obtained by REVERSING digits:-

Number = 100a + 10(a + d) + (a + 2d)

According to question:-

⇒ [a + 10(a + d) + 100(a + 2d)] - [100a + 10(a + d) + (a + 2d)] = 594

⇒ a + 10a + 10d + 100a + 200d - 100a - 10a - 10d - a - 2d = 594

⇒ 111a + 210d - 111a - 12D = 594

⇒ 198d = 594

⇒ d = 594/198

d = 3

Put this value in (Eq.1)

⇒ a + 3 = 5

⇒ a = 5 - 3

a = 2

\rule{150}{1}

⋆ THREE DIGITS OF THE NUMBER:-

↠ First DIGIT = a = 2

↠ Second digit = a + d = 2 + 3 = 5

↠Third digit = a + 2d = 2 + 2(3)= 2 + 6 = 8

\rule{150}{2}

⋆ THREE DIGITS NUMBER :-

⇒ Number = 2 + 10(2 + 3) + 100{2 + 2(3)}

⇒ Number = 2 + 10(5) + 100(8)

⇒ Number = 2 + 50 + 800

Number = 852

Therefore,

Three digits number = 852 .
