in a 3 digit number , the 100 digit is 2 more than the tens digit and the units digit is 2 less than the tens digit . if the sum of the digits is 27 , find the number ?
e 1197 let the three digit numbers be 100 a + 10 b + c a = b + 2 c = b - 2 a + b + c = 3 b = 27 = > b = 9 so a = 11 and b = 7 hence the three digit number is : 1197
a = 27 / 3 b = a + 2 c = b * 100 d = 27 / 3 e = d * 10 f = c + e g = 27 / 3 h = g - 2 i = f + h

a man sold 20 articles for $ 60 and gained 20 % . how many articles should he sell for $ 90 to incur a loss 10 % ?
"production cost per article : $ 60 * ( 100 % - 20 % ) / 20 = $ 2.40 required production costs for a loss of 20 % : $ 90 * ( 100 % + 10 % ) = $ 99 number of articles to be sold for $ 108 to incur a 20 % loss : $ 99 / $ 2.40 = 41.2 thus , solution b is correct ."

45 men took a dip in a water tank 40 m long and 20 m broad on a religious day . if the average displacement of water by a man is 4 m 3 , then the rise in the water level in the tank will be :
explanation : total volume of water displaced = ( 4 x 45 ) m 3 = 180 m 3 rise in water level = 180 / 40 Γ£ β€” 20 = 0.225 m = 22.5 cm answer : e
