Pls solve this problem...
Solution:
⇒ Q × Q has the last digit Q.
⇒ Q = 1, 5 or 6
When Q = 1, P × Q = Q
⇒ P × 1 = 1 ⇒ P = 1
as P and Q are 2 different numbers
∴ P ≠ 1 Q ≠ 1
Now when Q = 5
5P + 2 has the last digit 5 which is not possible
∴ Q = 6
When Q = 6, 6 P + 3 has the last digit 5.
⇒ P = 2 or 7
if P = 2
226 × 6 has last 3 digits 356
∴ P ≠ 2 and P = 7
⇒ R = 4
∴ P = 7, Q = 6 and R = 4
⇒ P + Q + R = 7 + 6 + 4 = 17
⇒ Q × Q has the last digit Q.
⇒ Q = 1, 5 or 6
When Q = 1, P × Q = Q
⇒ P × 1 = 1 ⇒ P = 1
as P and Q are 2 different numbers
∴ P ≠ 1 Q ≠ 1
Now when Q = 5

∴ Q = 6
When Q = 6, 6 P + 3 has the last digit 5.
⇒ P = 2 or 7

226 × 6 has last 3 digits 356
∴ P ≠ 2 and P = 7
⇒ R = 4
∴ P = 7, Q = 6 and R = 4
⇒ P + Q + R = 7 + 6 + 4 = 17
