Let the number = x
According to the question
(15/100) x x + (20/100) = 126
(35/100) x x = 126
35 360
We want to find out x/3 x/3 = 360/3 = 120

270
Now, we need to find 2m/5
= 2 x 270 / 5
= 2 x 54
= 108

A. 21
B. 12
c. 36
D. 42
E. None of these
ANSWER: B
EXPLANATION
Let the number = yx
So, unit place digit of two digit number = x 10th place digit of two digit number = y
So number formed by these digits = 10y + x
By reversing digits we get a number = 10x + y
According to the question
IOy + x + 9 = + y
By put and trial method we get x = 2, y = 1
So the number is = (10 x 1) 12
And given condition two digit number is 4 times to its sum of digits
12 = 4 x (1+2) = 12 satisfied
