Correct option is (C) 308

Let the required number be a0b where 100's digit is a & 10's digit is zero (0) and unit digit is b.

\(\therefore\) a0b = 100a + 10 \(\times\) 0 + b

\(\Rightarrow\) a0b = 100a + b       __________(1)

Sum of other digits is a+b.

a+b = 11    __________(2)  (Given)

If digits are reversed then formed number be b0a.

\(\therefore\) b0a = 100b + a     __________(3)

According to given condition, we have

100b+a = 100a + b + 495

\(\Rightarrow\) 99b - 99a = 495

\(\Rightarrow\) b - a = \(\frac{495}{99}\) = 5

\(\Rightarrow\) b - a = 5       __________(4)

Adding equation (2) & (4), we get

(a+b) + (b - a) = 11+5

\(\Rightarrow\) 2b = 16

\(\Rightarrow\) b = \(\frac{16}2\) = 8

\(\therefore\) a = 11 - b

= 11 - 8 = 3             (From (2))

Hence, the required number is 100a+b = 300+8 = 308.    (From (1))
