Question

Find the value of the letters in the following:

 P  Q
 ×   6  
Q Q Q

Sum

Solution

                  P  Q
We have,   ×   6  
                Q Q Q

Here, in first column, we see that 6 × QP = Q.

Therefore, the possible values of Q are 2, 4, 6 and 8.

For Q = 2, 6 × P + 1 can not be equal to 22 for any value of P.

So, Q = 2 is not possible.

∴ Q = 4

⇒ 6 × P + 2 = 44

⇒ 6P = 42

⇒ P = 7

Hence, P = 7 and Q = 4
