fQj] x+(x+2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8 ) = 575 Then, x+(x+2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8 ) = 575
 5x + 20 = 575  5x = 555 x = 111.  5x + 20 = 575  5x = 555 x = 111.
 vHkh’V ;ksx  Required sum

= 5x+ 70 = 5 × 111 +70 = 555 + 70 = 625. = 5x+ 70 = 5 × 111 +70 = 555 + 70 = 625.

 10x + y = 7(x+y)  3x=6y  x = 2y  10x + y = 7(x+y)  3x=6y  x = 2y
vadksa dks myVus ls cuh la[;k ¾ 10y + x. Number formed by reversing the digits = 10y + x.
 (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 18  9x - 9y = 18  (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 18  9x - 9y = 18
 x-y=2 2y -y = 2  y = 2.  x-y=2 2y -y = 2  y = 2.
rks] x = 2y = 4. So, x = 2y = 4.
