Solution

Let unit digit be x. Then hundred digit will be 3x and tens digit will be 15- (3x + x) = 15 - 4x

So the number is 3x × 100 + (15 - 4x ) × 10 + x = 300x+150 -40x +x = 261 x + 150

When number is reversed , new number will be 100x × (15 - 4x ) × 10 + 3x = 63x + 150

Difference between the number is

261 x + 150 - (63x + 150 ) = 396

⇒198x =396

⇒x= 2.

hundred digit is 3× 2 =6 , tens digit is (15 - 4x )=15 - 8 = 7 and unit digit is 2

Original number is 672.
