Explanation:

Let the required three-digit number be ‘abc’.

According to the question:

‘abc’ + 198 = ‘cba’

⇒ 100a + 10b + c + 198 = 100c + 10b + a

⇒ 99c – 99a = 198

⇒ c – a = 2

∴ Value of (c, a) can be (9, 7) or (8, 6) or (7, 5) or (6, 4) or (5, 3) or (4, 2) or (3, 1) i.e., total 7 values.

For each of these 7 values of c and a, b can taken any of the 10 values from 0 to 9.

∴ Total such possible numbers = 7 × 10 = 70.

Hence, 70.
