The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find a three-digit number represented as XYZ, where: - X is the hundreds digit, - Y is the tens digit, - Z is the units digit. We are given two conditions: 1. The sum of the hundreds and units digits (X + Z) is 6. 2. The sum of the tens and units digits (Y + Z) is 5. ### Step 1: Set Up the Equations From the given conditions, we can write two equations: 1. \( X + Z = 6 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( Y + Z = 5 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Express Y in Terms of Z From Equation 2, we can express Y in terms of Z: \[ Y = 5 - Z \] (Equation 3) ### Step 3: Substitute Y in Terms of Z into Equation 1 Now, we can substitute Equation 3 into Equation 1 to find possible values for X and Z: \[ X + Z = 6 \] We can rearrange this to find X: \[ X = 6 - Z \] (Equation 4) ### Step 4: Find Possible Values for X, Y, and Z Now we have: - \( X = 6 - Z \) - \( Y = 5 - Z \) Since X, Y, and Z are digits (0-9), we need to find values of Z that keep X and Y as valid digits. ### Step 5: Determine Valid Values for Z Let’s analyze the possible values for Z: - If \( Z = 0 \): - \( X = 6 - 0 = 6 \) - \( Y = 5 - 0 = 5 \) - Number: 650 (valid) - If \( Z = 1 \): - \( X = 6 - 1 = 5 \) - \( Y = 5 - 1 = 4 \) - Number: 541 (valid) - If \( Z = 2 \): - \( X = 6 - 2 = 4 \) - \( Y = 5 - 2 = 3 \) - Number: 432 (valid) - If \( Z = 3 \): - \( X = 6 - 3 = 3 \) - \( Y = 5 - 3 = 2 \) - Number: 321 (valid) - If \( Z = 4 \): - \( X = 6 - 4 = 2 \) - \( Y = 5 - 4 = 1 \) - Number: 214 (valid) - If \( Z = 5 \): - \( X = 6 - 5 = 1 \) - \( Y = 5 - 5 = 0 \) - Number: 105 (valid) - If \( Z \geq 6 \): - X would become negative, which is invalid. ### Step 6: Check Divisibility Condition Now we need to check if these numbers are divisible by the sum of their digits: - For 650: \( 6 + 5 + 0 = 11 \) (not divisible) - For 541: \( 5 + 4 + 1 = 10 \) (not divisible) - For 432: \( 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 \) (divisible) - For 321: \( 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 \) (divisible) - For 214: \( 2 + 1 + 4 = 7 \) (not divisible) - For 105: \( 1 + 0 + 5 = 6 \) (divisible) ### Step 7: Valid Numbers The valid numbers that meet all conditions are: - 432 - 321 - 105 ### Step 8: Find the Ratio of Unit and Tens Digits Now we need to find the ratio of the unit digit (Z) to the tens digit (Y) for these valid numbers: - For 432: \( Z = 2, Y = 3 \) → Ratio = \( \frac{2}{3} \) - For 321: \( Z = 1, Y = 2 \) → Ratio = \( \frac{1}{2} \) - For 105: \( Z = 5, Y = 0 \) → Ratio is undefined (since Y cannot be 0) ### Conclusion The valid ratios of unit digit to tens digit for the valid numbers are \( \frac{2}{3} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \). ### Final Answer Since the question asks for the ratio of the unit and tens digit, we can conclude that the valid ratios are \( \frac{2}{3} \) or \( \frac{1}{2} \).
