3 digits are in arithmetic progression, and Hundreds digit is always 1.

1. when common difference is 0
three digits are 1,1 and 1 {111}

2. when common difference is 1
three digits are 1,2 and 3 or 0, 1 and 2 {102, 120, 123 or 132}

3. when common difference is 2
three digits are 1,3 and 5 {123 or 132}

4. when common difference is 3
three digits are 1,4 and 7 {147 or 174}

5. when common difference is 4
three digits are 1,5 and 9 {159 or 195}

Total possible numbers= 1+2*5=11

Find digits in AP from 100 to 200:
{111}=1
{102},{120}=2
{123},{132}=2
{135},…=2
{147},…=2
{159},…=2

Total=1+2(5)=11

Ans (A)

102 also fits the criteria [1 = (0+2)/2]. Hence the answer should be 10.

You can write 3 terms of the arithmetic progression as - a, a+k and a+2k, where k is the common difference

Also, you can notice that middle term is the average of first and third term.

$$\frac{a+a+2k}{2}$$= $$\frac{2(a+k)}{2}$$=a+k

110 does not fit the given constraints.

[1+0][/2] = 0.5 (average should equal 1) or [1+1][/2] = 1 (average should equal 0).
