AB = sum of 2 digits integers
Sum of two - digit integer cannot be greater than 99 + 99 = 198
AB + BA = AAC where A = 1
IB + BI = IIC
If B < 9 AB + BA will only be a two digit integer e.g 17 + 71 = 88
Therefore,
B = 9 and C = 0
$$AB+BA=AAC\ \left(19+91=110=AAC\right)$$
$$C=0$$

$$answer\ is\ Option\ C$$

AB + BA = AAC
10A + B + 10B + A = 100A + 10A + C (cancel out the 10A's)
B + 10B + A - 100A = C
B(1+10) + A(1 - 100) = C

11B - 99A = C

The only value for C that satisfies this equation is C = 0. Then B = 9 and A = 1.

Therefore, the correct option is __E__

A. 9
B. 6

E. 0
First recognize that, if two 2-digit numbers have a sum that is a 3-digit number, then the hundredth digit of the sum must be 1.
In other words, A = 1.
So we now have the following sum:
_1B
+B1
11C

If the sum 1B and B1 is a 3-digit number, then it must be the case that B = 9 (since 18 + 81 = 99, and 99 is not a 3-digit number)
If B = 9, the sum becomes:
_19
+91
11C

As we can see, C = 0

Answer: E
