Let’s break down the problem step-by-step.
We have a three-digit number represented as ‘ABC’, where:
– A is the first digit,
– B is the second digit,
– C is the third digit.
From the clues provided:
1. B is four times more than C. This can be expressed as:
( B = 4C )
2. A is seven less than B, which can be written as:
( A = B – 7 )
Now, we need to check each option:
1) 128:
– A = 1, B = 2, C = 8
– B = 4C → ( 2 neq 4 times 8 ) (False)
2) 236:
– A = 2, B = 3, C = 6
– B = 4C → ( 3 neq 4 times 6 ) (False)
3) 324:
– A = 3, B = 2, C = 4
– B = 4C → ( 2 neq 4 times 4 ) (False)
4) 472:
– A = 4, B = 7, C = 2
– B = 4C → ( 7 = 4 times 2 ) (True)
