1. what could be the maximum value of q in the following equation ?
            5 p 9 + 3 r 7+ 2 q 8 = 1114
(a) 81                                  (b) 5
(c) 9                                    (d) 18

Answer:  (c) 9     
Solution: first add the digits at the unit's place - 9+7+8 = 24. Carry the 2.
Adding digits at the ten's place plus carry 2 from the addition of units place -
we get
         p + r+ q+ 2 
 it is evident from the above equation that the sum should be 11. Now for getting the maximum value of q, r and p should be zero.
        => q+2 = 11
       => q =9

(c) 33                               (d) 49

Answer: (b) 71
Solution: Let the number be 10x +y
then given that x+y =8  ----------------------i
Again if number is reveresed then it is decreases by 54.
=>  (10x+y ) - (10y +x ) = 54
=> 10x + y - 10y -x =54
=> 9x - 9y = 54
=>  x-y = 6 ----------------------------- ii
Adding i and ii , we have
           2x = 14
=> x= 7
And from  i the value of y is 8-7  =1
Therefore the number is 71.

17. The ratio between a two digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is 4:1 .If the digit in the  units place is three more than digit in the ten place. what is the number ?
(a) 44                               (b) 36
(c) 24                               (d) 18

Answer: (b) 36
Solution:
Let the number be 10x+y with x at the tens place and y at the ones place.
Then according to the question
(10x+y) /(x+y) = 4/1
=> (10x+y) = 4(x+y)
=> 10x + y = 4x +4y
=>6x=3y
=> 2x=y -----------------------------(i)
again given that
y= x+3 --------------------- (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii)
2x = x+3
=> x=3
and y=2x = 2.3 =6
Therefore the number is 36

Shortcut: Lets check the options
Given that the digit in the units place is 3 more than the digit at the tens place. Only option (b) fits the bill and is the answer.
