In the correctly worked addition problem shown, where the sum of the two-digit positive integers AB and BA is the three-digit integer AAC, and A, B, and C are different digits, what is the units digit of the integer AAC?

A. 9
B. 6
C. 3
D. 2
E. 0


Solution:

Since the sum of two 2-digit numbers is less than 200 (since each is less than 100), we see that A must be 1. Therefore, we have:

1B
+B1
11C

At this point, we see that B must be 9 so that the sum of the two 2-digit numbers can be a 3-digit number. Therefore, we have:

19
+91
110

Therefore, the units digit of AAC (or 110) is 0.

It can also be solved as follows:
AB = 10*A+B
BA = 10*B+A
AAC = 100*A+10*A+C

So, (10A+B)+(10B+A)=(100A+10A+C)
11(A+B)=110A+C
A+B=10A+(C/11)
As A,B,C must be Integers (since basically they are digits of numbers) hence C must be multiple of 11. Now C must be Single Digit and only single digit multiple of 11 is 0.
Hence, C=0
