iii. My tens place digit is 3 less than my ones place digit.
a) 458
b) 468
c) 478
d) 488
Answer: a) 458
Explanation: Let's go step by step:
From clue ii, the highest single-digit even number is 8. Therefore, the ones place digit of the mystery number is 8.
From clue i, the hundreds place digit is half the ones place digit. Since the ones place digit is 8, half of 8 is 4. Therefore, the hundreds place digit is 4.
From clue iii, the tens place digit is 3 less than the ones place digit. Since the ones place digit is 8, 3 less than 8 is 5. Therefore, the tens place digit is 5.
Putting it all together, the mystery number is 458.
Therefore, the answer is mystery number 458.
5. Which of the following is matched correctly?
a) Smallest 2-digit odd number = 13
b) Smallest 2-digit even number =12
c) Greatest 2-digit odd number = 99
d) Greatest 2-digit even number = 99
Answer: c) Greatest 2-digit odd number = 99
Explanation: The smallest 2-digit odd number is incorrect in option a). The smallest 2-digit odd number is 11, not 13. 13 is a 2-digit odd number, but it is not the smallest.
The smallest 2-digit even number is incorrect in option b). The smallest 2-digit even number is 10, not 12.
The greatest 2-digit odd number is correct in option c). The greatest 2-digit odd number is 99. It is the largest odd number between 10 and 99.
The greatest 2-digit even number is incorrect in option d). The greatest 2-digit even number is 98, not 99. 99 is not an even number; it is an odd number.
Therefore, the correct match is c) Greatest 2-digit odd number = 99.
