Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
 
4 a 3
9 8 4
1 3 b 7
     
    a + 8 = b     b - a = 8      
 
   Also, 13b7 is divisible by 11.
 
      (7 + 3) - (b + 1) = (9 - b)      (9 - b) = 0     b = 9.  
 
      b = 9 and a = 1     (a + b) = 10.

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
 
4  x
5  y - 2
6  z - 3
   1 - 4
  z = 6 x 1 + 4 = 10

y = 5 x z + 3 = 5 x 10 + 3 = 53

x = 4 x y + 2 = 4 x 53 + 2 = 214
 
 
Hence, required number = 214.
