  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    By observation of summation, it can be seen that numbers are not in decimal. Let they have base n. Then converting all number in decimal
    (137)n = [ 1 × n2 + 3n + 7n0 ]10
    (276)n = [ 2n2 + 7n + 6n0 ]10
    (435)n = [ 4n2 + 3n + 5n0 ]10
    (731)n = [ 7n2 + 3n + 1n0 ]10
    (672)n = [ 6n2 + 7n + 2n0 ]10
    ∴ (137)n + (276)n = (435)n
    ⇒ n2 + 3n + 7 + 2n2 + 7n + 6n = 4n2 + 3n + 5
    ⇒ n2 – 7n – 8 = 0 ⇒ n = – 1, 8
    Possible base n = 8 (+ ve)
    (435)n = (435)8 = [ 4 × 82 + 3 × 8 + 5 ]10 = (285)10
    (731)n = (731)8 = [ 7 × 82 + 3 × 8 + 1 ]10 = (473)10
    (672)n = (672)8 = [ 6 × 82 + 7 × 8 + 2 ]10 = (442)10
    So , (731)8 + (672)8 = (473)10 + (442)10 = (915)10
    (915)10 = (1623)8

    Correct Option: C

    (915)10 = (1623)8
