it is given that
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad A \\ \quad \quad A \\ +\quad A \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ B\quad A \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
We observe first column, i.e.
A + A + A = A
It is possible for A = 5.
5 + 5 + 5 = 15
Hence, B =1.
Now, this number puzzle can be solved as:
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad 5 \\ \quad \quad 5 \\ +\quad 5 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ 1\quad 5 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Hence, A = 5 and B =1.

5.
Yes, No
6.
The given number is 108.
Sum of digits of 108 = 1+0 +8 = 9
Now, on dividing this sum by 3, we get
9 \(\div\) 3 = 3 and remainder = 0
which is divisible by 3.
Hence, 108 is divisible by 3.
7.

A number is said to be in a generalised form, if it is expressed as the sum of the products of its digits with their respective place values as ab = a x 10 + b and abc = a x 100 + b x 10 + c.
302 = 100 x 3 + 10 x 0 + 1 x 2 [ \(\because\)abc = 100a + 10b + c ]
11.
(i) Let the awards given in 1958 be x% of the awards given in 1993. Then,
x% of 81=28
⇒ \(\frac{x}{100} \times 81=28\)
⇒ \(x=\frac{28 \times 100}{81}\)
= 34.5 (approx.)
Hence, the awards given is 1958 is 34.5 per cent of the awards given in 1993.
(h) Let the awards given in 1993 be x% of the awards given in 1958. Then,
x% of 28 = 81
⇒ \(\frac{x}{100} \times 28=81\)
⇒\(x=\frac{81 \times 100}{28}=\frac{81 \times 25}{7}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2025}{7}\)=289 (approx.)
Hence, the award given is 1993 is 289 per cent of the awards given in 1958.
12.
(i) 10 x 34 + 5
(ii) 10 x 27 + 5
13.
We have, a 3-digit number 2a3, when added to the number 326, gives a 3-digit number 5b9.
We can write 2a3 and 5b9 in generalised form as.
2a3 = 2 x 100 + a x10 + 3 = 200 + 10a + 3
5b9 = 5 x 100 + b x 10 + 9 = 500 + 10b + 9
Now, it is given that
2a3 + 326 = 5b9
200 + 10a + 3 + 326 = 500 + 10b+ 9
10a + (200 + 3 + 326) = 10b + (500 + 9)
10a + (200 + 329) = 10b+ 509
10a + 529 = 10b + 509
529 - 509 = 10b -10a
20 = 10 x (b-a)
b - a = \({20 \over 10}\)
b - a = 2 .........(i)
Now, it is given that 5b9 is divisible by 9.
So, sum of digits of 5b9 will be divisible by 9, i.e
5 + b + 9 = Multiple of 9
14 + b =18 (nearest multiple of 9)
b = 18 - 14 = 4
Put b = 4 in Eq. (i), we get
b - a = 2 \(\Rightarrow\)4-a = 2
4 - 2 = a \(\Rightarrow\) 2 = a
\(\Rightarrow\) a = 2
Hence, a = 2, b = 4 and b - a = 2
14.
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad A\ B \\ \quad \times \ \ \ \ \ 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_\_ \\ \quad C\ A\ B \\ \_\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Here, we have three letters A, Band C whose values all to be found.
Since unit's digit of 3 x B is B. So, it must be B = 0 or B = 5
When B = 0, then
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad A\ 0 \\ \quad \times \quad 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ C\ A\ 0 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
and when B = 5, then
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \ A\ 5 \\ \quad \times \ 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ C\quad A\quad 5 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Now, unit's digit of 3 x A is A. So, A must be 0 or 5 but A cannot be 0 because if A = 0, then AB becomes the one-digit number. So, A must be 5 and multiplication is either 50 x 3 or 55 x 3.
Here, the second possibility fails, since 55 x 3 = 165 but the first possibility is correct.
\(\therefore\) 50 x 3 = 150
Therefore, the puzzle is solved as shown below:
\(\begin{matrix} \quad \quad 5\quad 0 \\ \quad \times \quad 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ 1\quad 5\quad 0 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Hence, A = 5, B = 0 and C = 1
15.
Let the 2-digit number be ab and the number obtained by reversing the digits is ba.
Let the sum be a 3-digit number dad.
\(\therefore\) ab + ba = dad
\(\Rightarrow\) 10a + b + 10b + a = dad
\(\Rightarrow\) 11a + 11b = dad
\(\Rightarrow\) 11(a+b) = dad
The sum a + b cannot exceed 18 because the greatest 2-digit number is 99 and 9 + 9 = 18
Since, 11(a + b) = dad, so dad is the multiple of 11
Also, 99 + 99 = 198
So, dad is less than 198.
All the 3-digit numbers which are multiples of 11 upto 198 are 110, 121, 132, 143, 154, 165, 176, 187 and 198.
Clearly, dad = 121
Hence, a = 2 and d = 1
16.
We have the sum of the digits of 51x3
= 5+1+x+3=9+x
Since, 51x3 is divisible by 9.
∴ (9 + x) must be divisible by 9.
∴ (9 + x) must be equal to 0 or 9 or 18 or 27
or ... But x is a digit, then
9+x=9 ⇒ x=0
9 + x = 18 ⇒ x = 9
x = 27 ⇒ x = 18, which is not possible.
∴ The required value of x = 0 or 9.
17.
A = 5, B = 3
18.
A = 5
19.
Given, 21y 5 is a multiple of 9, i.e. 21y5 is divisible by 9.
We know that a number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
So, sum of digits of 21y 5 = 2 + 1+ y + 5 = 8 + y
Therefore, (8 +y) should be 0, 9, 18,27, ... , etc.
Since x is a digit.
\(\therefore\) 8 + y = 9 \(\Rightarrow\) y = 9 - 8 \(\Rightarrow\) y=1
Hence, the value of y is 1.
20.
\(\begin{matrix}\quad 4\quad A \\ +\quad 9\quad 8 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad C\quad B\quad 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Here, we have three letters A, B, and C whose values are to be found.
Studying the addition in the one's column, we have A + 8 and we get 3 from this, i.e. a number whose one's digit is 3, for this A has to be 5.
\(\because\) A + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13
Now, for sum in ten's column, we have
1 + 4 + 9 = CB \(\Rightarrow\) 14 = CB
Here, B = 4 and C = 1
Therefore, the puzzle is solved as shown below:
\(\begin{matrix}\quad \quad 4\quad 5 \\ +\quad 9\quad 8 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \\ \quad 14\quad 3 \\ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \end{matrix}\)
Hence, A = 5, B = 4 and C = 1
