a + b = 6
(10a + b) – (10b +a) = 36, a – b = 4
We get a = 5 and b = 1
So number is 51

let the number be 100a + 10b + c
(100a + 10b +c) – (100a + 10c +b) = 36
b – c = 4

Answer – c) 70% Explanation : take total women =100 Women less than or equal to 50 years = 80 and women above 50 years = 20 20 = women plays basketball 30% of the women above 50 plays basketball = 6 So remaining 14 women who plays basketball are less than or equal to 50 years So (14/20)*100 = 70%

Following the common explanation, we get

Total score in all the subjects combined = 501

Total maximum marks = 5 × 150 = 750

Aggregate % score = 501/750 × 100 = 66.8%

Hence, option C is correct.

Common explanation :

Score in Maths = 70% (150) = 105
 
Similarly calculated for each subject we get

Following the common explanation, we get

Reqd. % = 165/120 × 100 = 137.5%

Hence, option B is correct.

Common explanation :

Score in Maths = 70% (150) = 105
