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
solution let the number be x . then 2 x = 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 units digit . hence , required number = 253 . answer c

when processing flower - nectar into honey bees ' extract , a considerable amount of water gets reduced . how much flower - nectar must be processed to yield 1 kg of honey , if nectar contains 50 % water , and the honey obtained from this nectar contains 20 % water ?
"explanation : flower - nectar contains 50 % of non - water part . in honey this non - water part constitutes 80 % ( 100 - 20 ) . therefore 0.5 x amount of flower - nectar = 0.80 x amount of honey = 0.80 x 1 kg therefore amount of flower - nectar needed = ( 0.80 / 0.51 ) kg = 1.6 kgs answer : d"
