Answer:

Correct Answer: 45. (1210)

Solution:

  1. Here,

a+b=10c and c+d=10a

(ac)+(bd)=10(ca) (bd)=11(ca)

Since, ’ c ’ is the root of x210ax11b=0

c210ac11b=0

Similarly, ’ a ’ is the root of

x210cx11d=0a210ca11d=0

On subtracting Eq. (iv) from Eq. (ii), we get

(c2a2)=11(bd)

(c+a)(ca)=11×11(ca)

c+a=121

a+b+c+d=10c+10a

=10(c+a)=1210
