Answer
Detailed solution
Write with , , (the last because is a three-digit number).
Condition (iii):
Condition (i) (divisibility by ): Since , . The achievable multiples of are and
Case 1: , i.e.,
Combine with condition (ii):
With , , : pairs are .
Numbers:
Case 2: , i.e.,
Combine: , not an integer. No solutions.
Sum
Why this is CAT-level: Three conditions interact non-trivially. Condition (iii) -- expressed as `` is a positive multiple of '' -- looks restrictive but is automatic for any reversal; the actual content is just . Recognising this collapse is the key insight. The divisibility rule for produces a case split (Case 2 is killed by parity).
