A two digit number ab is added to another number ba, which is obtained by reversing the digits then we get three digit number. Thus (a + b) equals to:
A
at least 18
B
2ab
C
2(a + b)
D
(a + b) ≥ 10
Correct Answer: (a + b) ≥ 10
When two two digit numbers are added and the resultant value is a three digit number. It means there must be a carry over (i.e. The sum of unit digits be greater than 9. Similarly, the sum of the tens digit is also greater than 9)Required numbers = 64 + 46 = 110Option D is correct
