Question

Given the following subtraction problem, find out which of the following numbers does not stand for CART?
C A R
- A R T
= 2 2 2

• A. 6420
• B. 7531
• C. 8420
• D. 9753

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8420

Let us verify the statement:
C A R
- A R T
= 2 2 2
by putting value of each of the given option.
(a) CART = 6420. So, CAR = 642 and ART = 420.
Therefore, CAR - ART = 642 - 420 = 222 which is correct.
(b) CART = 7531. So, CAR = 753 and ART = 531.
Therefore, CAR - ART = 753 - 531 = 222 which is correct.
(c) CART = 8420. So, CAR = 842 and ART = 420.
Therefore, CAR - ART = 842 - 420 = 422 which is incorrect.
(d) CART = 9753. So, CAR = 975 and ART = 753.
Therefore, CAR - ART = 975 - 753 = 222 which is correct.
So, only option (C) gives the incorrect result.
Hence, option (C) is the required answer.
