2 The sum
of the 2 digits number is 9. also nine times this number obtained by reversing the3 order of the digits. find the number.
Answers
Answer:
The sum of digits f a two digit number is 9. Also nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of digit. Hence, the number is 10y + x = 10 × 1 + 8 = 18.
Correct Question :
The sum of digits of a two digit number is 9. Also, nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of digit. Find the number.
Solution :
Let the unit digit and tens digits of the number be ' x ' and ' y ', respectively.
- Given Number = 10y + x
After reversing the digits of the number :
- 10x + y
Now,
According to the question,
x + y = 9 ______________ (i)
⇒ 9 (10y + x) = 2(10x + y)
⇒ 88y - 11x = 0
⇒ -x + 8y =0 _______ ( ii )
Now, Add equation ( i ) and ( ii ). We get,
- 9y = 9
∴ y = 1 _________ (iii)
Substitute the value of ' y ' in equation ( i ). We get,
x + 1 = 9
⇒ x = 9 - 1
∴ x = 8
Finally,
The number = 10y + x
= 10 ( 1 ) + 8
= 10 + 8
= 18
Therefore,
18 is the required number.
