1. A 3-digit number has the following properties.
‘© Ifits tens and units digits are interchanged, its value increases by 36.
If its hundreds and units digits are interchanged, its value decreases by 198.
When its hundreds and tens digits are interchanged, its value decreases. By how much?

3. Starship Conquest is pursuing starship Anarky, which is 12 klongs ahead of Conquest’s
‘current position. After Conquest has travelled 45 klongs, Anarky is just 7 klongs ahead.
Assuming both starships are travelling on the same straight: line at constant speeds, how
many moze Klongs will it take for Conquest to catch Anatly?

A 2-digit number is called productive if it is the product of two single digit numbers
For example, 66 is productive because 7 x § = 56, but 65 is not productive. Also, 40 is
productive, but Of is not because it is not a 2-digit number. Find all Q-digit numbers
‘in which all digits ave different and each pair of neighbouring digits forms a productive
umber.
marks, mean 1.0)
Investigation
Find all pairs of consccutive numbers, each consisting of 8 different digits and for which
each pair of neighbouring digits forms a productive number.
