Answer :
Let the hundred’s digit be x
Unit’s = x + 1 and ten’s digit = x – 1
The number formed = 100 x + 10 (x – 2) + x + 1
= 100x + 10x – 20 + x + 1
= 111x – 19
After changing the numbers cyclically the first case would be
Unit’s digit = x – 2, ten’s digit = x and hundred’s digit = x + 1
The number formed = 100 (x + 1) + 10 x + x – 2
= 100x + 100 + 10x + x – 2
= 111x + 98
On changing the digits cyclically for the second time
Unit digit = x, ten’s digit =x + 1 and hundred’s digit = x – 2 and the number formed is
100 (x – 2) + 10 (x + 1) + x
= 100 x – 200 + 10x + 10 + x
= 111x – 190
As per the conditions in the question
111x – 19 + 111x + 198 + 111x – 190 = 2664
⇒ 333x – 11 = 2664
⇒ 333x = 2664 + 11
Hence the original number = 111 x – 19 = 111 x 8 – 119 = 888 – 119
Original Number = 769
