Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is greater than the unit's digit.Let the ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.Then, (10 * 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 369x = 36x = 4Required difference = (2x + x) - (2x - x) = 2x = 8.
This is a simple division series. Each number is divided by 5. Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...So answer is a = 8.
