Was the CEO wrong when the sales manager's report is true?

Problem 2

In a three-digit positive integer MM , the number of hundreds is less than the number of tenths and the number of tenths is less than the number of ones. The arithmetic mean of the integer three-digit numbers obtained by arranging the number MM and its numbers ends with the number 55 . Find all such three-digit numbers MM .

Problem 3

Are there any (not necessarily positive) integers mm and nn such that a) 1m−1n=1m−n\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{m-n} ? b) 1m−1n=1n−m\frac{1}{m}-\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{n-m}
