Solution

The correct option is C 375
Let the numbers in the 100's place be x, 10's place be y and1's place be z.

H T O
x y z
So,
100x+10y+z=25(x+y+z)
As, the number is 25 times the sum of the digits of the number.

100x+10y+z=25x+25y+25z
75x15y24z=0
25x5y8z=0....(1)

Again,

100x + 10y + z + 198 = 100z + 10y + x

As, the number will reverse if 198 is added to it
99x997=198
xz=2.............(2)

Now,
x+z=y+1
As, the sum of extreme two digits is one more than the middle term
xy+z=1.......(3)

eqn(1)5×eqn(3)

25x5y8z=0
5x+5y5z=5
__________________
20x13z=5.....................(4)

eqn(2)×13eqn(4)

13x13z=26
20x+13z=+5
__________________
7x=21

x=3.....................(5)

Now, substituting eqn(5) in eqn(2), we get,
xz=2
3z=2
z=5.....................(6)

Again, substituting eqn(5) and eqn(6) and z in eqn(3), we get

xy+z=1
3y+5=1
y=7
y=7

Hence the number is 375.

Check: 375 + 198 = 573 (digits are reversed)
