The three-digit integer kss is the sum of the two-digit integers ks and rs, where k, r, and s are the digits of the integers. Which of the following must be true?

I. k = 2
II. r = 9
III. s = 5

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
E. II and III


k s
+ r s
--------
k s s
-------
Only one value of s would suffice before mentioned condition, "s" has to be 0

Since s = 0, there would not be any carry over, we can safely assume
k
+ r
--------
k s
-------

Only one value of k & r would suffice before mentioned condition, "k" & "r" have to be 1 & 9 respectively

Hence Answer B

The max value of kss would be 198. since sum of biggest 2 digit nos. is 99 +99 = 198.

Hence the hundreth's place is 1. k = 1

s = 0 since the sum of 2 digits such that the output is the same has to be 0.

Answer = B

So, 100k + 10s + s = 10k + s +10r + s
-> 90 k + 9s = 10 r

-> r = 9 (10k + s)/10

To make r an integer s must be a multiple of 10, So s = 0 (to cancel 10 in denominator).
we can't take s as 5 since if s = 5 , r = 9*5(2k+1)/10 . So it won't result an integer r.


really good solution......but i do have a question.....

why cant s be 20 or 30 and so on..since all these will result in an integer too.
