On reversing a three-digit number, we get a larger number. After adding them together, the result obtained is not a palindrome. The process is repeated with the new number obtained. We get a three-digit number, which is not a palindrome at the end of the 1st or 2nd repetition. At the end of the 3rd repetition, we get a four-digit palindrome. What is the difference between the initial three-digit number and its reverse?1. 99 2. 100 3. 165 4. 101
99 ??

diff. should be a multiple of 99
@AsihekAdhvaryu how could u conclude it is a right triangle??

A can complete a piece of work in 4 days. B takes double the time taken by A. C takes double that of B, and D takes double that of C to complete the same task. They are paired in groups of two each. One pair takes two- thirds the time needed by the second pair to complete the work. Which is the first pair?
1. A, B 2. A, C 3. B, C 4. A, D

@Estallar12 99..?

please solve it

The number of divisors of an odd number is 34. If it is multiplied by 12, the number of divisors will be1. 278 2. 76 3. 204 4. 216
204 ?

34 = 17*2

N = a^16*b^1*12 = a^16*b^1*3^1*2^2
no of divisors = 17*2*2*3 = 204

please solve it

palindrome kya hota hai dude? kindly let me know.
option 1) difference divisible by 9 imo.
