If somebody choose two digit and three digit numbers and their difference is 989.What will be their sum? a) 1000 b)1010 c) 1006?

Description : If somebody choose two digit and three digit numbers and their difference is 989.What will be their sum? a) 1000 b)1010 c) 1006?

Last Answer : None of the above. Let x be the three digit number and y be the two digit number. x - y =989. x = 989 + y. x is obviously greater than 989 and less than 1000 (since it is three digits). Since y is a two digit number ... 989 + 10 = 999. We can't go any higher, so x =999 and y=10. x+y = 999+10 = 1009
