Question

a, b and c are 3 digit integers, where a=b+c. Is the hundred's digit of the number equal to sum of that of b and c?

1) Tens digit of a = tens digit of b + tens digit of c
2) Units digit of a = unit digit of b + units digit of c

giddi77 · Answer

I would say E.

We don't know the values of hundred's digits of b and c.

If b = 800, c=100 => a = 900 ; Answer is Yes
If b = 900, c =100 => a = 1000; Answer is No.
