A number consists of two digits whose sum is five. When the digits are reversed, the number becomes greater by nine. Find the number.

ANSWER

Let the digits in the tens be x and ones place be y.

Hence the number is 10x+y

By reversing 10y+x

Sum of digit =5

⇒x+y=5⟶(i)

Also that when 9 is added to the number the digits get interchanged.

∴(10x+y)+9=(10y+x)

10x+y+9=10y+x=0

9x−9y=−9

x−y=−1⟶(ii)

Adding (i) &(ii) we get ,

⇒x+y=5

⇒x−y=−1

⇒2x=4

⇒x=2

Put x=2 in x+y=5

∴2+y=5

⇒y=3

Hence the no: is 23.
