If N is a 3-digit integer, what is the value of N?

(1) The ten’s digit of N is twice the unit’s digit and half of the hundred’s digit.
(2) The ten’s digit of N is thrice the unit’s digit and one-third of the hundred’s digit.

Let the 3 digit integer, N, be HTO.

1. H = 4x, T = 2x, O = x
Case 1: x = 1, the three digit integer is 421.
Case 2: x = 2, the three digit integer is 842.
Since we have two different integers, we don't have an unique value of N. (Insufficient)

2. H = 9x, T = 3x, O = x
When x = 1, the three digit integer is 931.
This is the only option as N is not a 3-digit number when x = 2. (Sufficient - Option B)

I was wondering why are we not considering 0 in tens and units digits? that may open another set of possible combinations.

If you consider one of the digits to be 0 - all the three digits must be 0. N will cease to be a 3 digit integer. That's the reason 0 isint considered.

If you consider tens digit as 0 then how will the first condition be true? Lets say XYZ is your 3 digit number

If Y=0, X=0/2= which is undefined

Similarly if you put units digit as 0, it wont make sense
