If a number is multiplied by its successor and the result is 342, what is the number?
A18
B19
C17
D20

So n = 18.

Wait, checking: 17 × 18 = 306, 18 × 19 = 342.

Answer is B.

Q.170 Hard Numbers
A number consists of two digits. The sum of digits is 12 and the number is 6 more than 6 times the units digit. Find the number.
A48
B39
C75
D84
Correct Answer:  D. 84
Explanation:

Let tens digit = x, units digit = y.

Then x + y = 12 and 10x + y = 6y + 6.

From second: 10x = 5y + 6.

Substituting y = 12-x: 10x = 5(12-x) + 6 = 60 - 5x + 6.

So 15x = 66, x = 8, y = 4.

Number = 84
