A number HDU (H is the hundreds digit (non-zero), D is the tens digit and U is the units digit, for example 265, H is 2, D is 6 and 5 is U) have this propriety:
H+U= D 2
H+D+U is a multiple by 3
H+U=2D
What is the minimum interger with this property?

But its nowhere written that number should be a three digit number??

H stands for hundreds digit. Hundreds digit will only be there when the number is a 3-digit number.
222 is right
Let 1 0 > H > 0 , 1 0 > D ≥ 0 and 1 0 > U ≥ 0
H + U = D 2
H + U = 2 D
H + D + U is also a multiple of three
The first two equations can be combined to create
D 2 = 2 D
This can be re-arranged to find D
D = 2
Now we know that
H + U = 4
Since H s lowest possible value is one, having H as one will help us find the lowest possible number.
1 + U = 4
This makes U equal to three.
H + D + U = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
Six is divisible by three so
H D C = 1 2 3
i know if (h+d+u) is divided by 3 then (hdu) is divided by 3
The smallest integer solution is -529, not 123.
At first I tried 024 i.e. 24. I think 24 should be the min. integer. Satisfying all conditions.
The number shoud be a HDU or a 3 digit number
IT SAID H IS NON ZERO

H + U = D 2 and H + U = 2 D , which means that D 2 = 2 D and D = 2 .
So, H + U = 4 . Now, we have to look for the smallest number. So, the value of H has to be the smallest possible. The value of H cannot be 0 because then the number would be a 2-digit number. So, H = 1 and U = 3 and the number is 1 2 3
