ATM pin puzzle answer

  • It is given that the first digit is half of the second digit which also means the second digit is double of the first digit.
  • Let us assume, the first digit be x
  • Therefore, the second digit will be 2x.
  • The sum of second and Third digit = 10
  • 2x + 3rd digit = 10
  • 3rd digit = 10 - 2x
  • Now, as mentioned 4th digit is equal to 2nd plus 1
  • 4th digit = 2nd digit + 1
  •         4th digit   = 2x + 1
  • Now we have, all the four digits of a number = x, 2x, 10-2x and 2x+1
  • Given Sum of all digits = 23
  • x + 2x + 10 - 2x + 2x + 1 = 23
  • 3x + 11 = 23
  • 3x = 23 - 11
  • 3x = 12, x = 4
  • Therefore, Four digits are 4, 8, 2, 9
  • Answer - The ATM pin = 4829
