Assume the number is abc.

ATQ

a + b + c =10 ...(i)

b = a+c..(ii)

Put value of (a+c) in equation (i)

b +b =10

b = 5 = a+c ...(iii)

100 c + 10b + a - 100a - 10b - c = 99

99(c-a) = 99

c - a = 1 ...(iv)

Equation (iii) + Equation (iv)

a + c + c - a = 1+5

2c = 6

c = 3

a = 2

Hence the required number is 253.
