    If a = c, show that cba- abc = 0
    Ans : Given: a = c
    To show: cba - abc = 0
    Proof:
    cba = 100c + 106 + a ...(i)
    (By using property 3)
    abc = 100a + 106 + c ...(ii)
    (By using property 3)
    Since, a = c,
    Substitute the value of a = c in equation (i) and (ii), we get
    cba = 100c + 10b + c ...(iii)
    abc = 100c + 10b + c ...(iv)
    subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get
    cba - abc - 100c + 106 + c - 100c - 106 - c
    ⇒ cba - abc = 0
    ⇒ cba = abc
    Hence, proved.
