Re: N is positive integer and hundredth digit of 10N is 6 [#permalink]
From the information given :

N = multiple of 13 ...

N + 13 = Multiple of 13 , with the tenth place being 7 ...

10N has a 100th unit as 6 ...

Multiples of 13 = ( 13 x 2 = 26 , 13 x 3 = 39, 13x4 = 52 , 13x5 = 65, 13x6 = 78, 13x9 = 78, 13x10 = 130...) ..

Out of these we need to find a number which when added to 13 yields a unique number whose tenth place is occupied by a 7.. We have 65 as that number so will select it to test it out ..

65+13 = 78 , tenth place is 7 .. So 1 condition is met ...

Lets multiply 10 by N we get 10 x 65 = 650 ..The hundredth unit is 6 , so the second condition has been met...

after satisfying 1 and 2 we know that n = 65 , the units digit of n is 5 (B)

N = tu, 10N = tu0, t = 6, N = 6u; N + 13 = 6u + 13 = 73 + u =13k (because N+13 is multiple of 13)
u = 13k - 73 = 5 for k= 6

Hello,

I didn't understand why the tens digit 6 if the hundredth digit of 10N is 6.

For me I assumed that it's a 3 digit number and the hundredth digit of N is 6

Can anyone please explain more?

Best,

We know that N is an integer. Let N = abc.Now, 10*N = abc0. As you can notice, the value of the each of the digit shifts place wise. Initially, the units digit of N was c, which is now 0. The tens unit of N was b, which is now at the hundred's place.Thus, when we know that the hundred's digit after multiplication by 10 is 6, then by similar analogy, we can say that the tens place of N must be 6.
You can actually pick up numbers with tens digit as 6, and multiply by 10 to get an idea. Also, for this particular thing, it doesn't matter if N is a 2 digit number or a 10 digit number.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thank you for your help. I don't know why I assumed that 10N is 3 digit number or more as one hundred and N not 10 times N.

Now it's Crystal clear

Thank you
