    Explanation

    Let the number is XYZ Let the unit Digit of the No. be Z Let the Tens Digit of the No. be Y Let the Hundreds Digit of The No. be X Sum of numbers is 17 ⇒ X + Y + Z = 17 …… (Eq.1) Sum of squares of digits is 109 ⇒ X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 = 109 …….. (Eq.2) ⇒ 100X + 10Y + Z – 495 = 100Z + 10Y + X ⇒ 99X – 99Z = 495 ⇒ X – Z = 5 Since number is positive all possible combinations of X and Z are (6, 1), (7, 2), (8, 3), (9, 4) Of these four combinations only (8, 3) gives acceptable solution for Y using Eq.1 and Eq.2 ⇒ Y = 6 The number is 863
