Given expression, 10x + y = 7 (x + y)

or, 3x - 6y = 0
? x = 2y
Now,
When each digit is increased by 3,
then, 10( x + 3) + (y + 3) = 6 (x +3 + y +3) +6
4x - 5y = 9
or,
8y - 5y = 9
form eq. (i)
y=3&x=6
The given number is 63.

3.(D) Given experssion = 325 (1 + 3 + 32 + 33 )

= 325 40
= (324 3) (4 10)
= (324 4) (3 10)
Which is divisible by 30
4.(A) LCM of 6, 9 and 12 = 36
? Number is the form of 36p + 4
Since, the required number between 300 and
400
So, the numbers will be 328 (when p = 9) and
364 (when p = 10)
Required sum = 328 + 364 = 692

Then a = 2k, b = 3k , c = 4k and d = 12k

As a + b + c + d = 3150
(2k + 3k +4k +12k) = 3150
21k = 3150
k = 150
Hence the four parts are 300, 450, 600, 1800
So, the largest part is 1800
23.(A) Let the total monthly sales of companies
A and B be Rs. 2x and Rs.3x and their total
monthly expenditure be ` 3y & ` 4y.
Given that A's profit = 1/5 of sales = 2x /5

Now let x % of B is equal to A

First number =

15 (A + B) = 25 (A - B)
15 A+ 15B = 25A - 25B
