Let the 2 digits of a two digit number be x and y.
Then the two digit no so formed will be (10x+y) where x is at 10's place and y is at unit place.
By question, (5/6)×(10x+y)=(10y+x).......(1)
Also, (x-y)=1.......(2)
From (2), x =(y+1)
From (1),
5(10x+y)=6(10y+x)
Or, 50x+5y=60y+6x
Or, 44x=55y
Or,44(y+1)=55y
Or,44=11y
Therefore y=4.
Then,X=(y+1)=4+1=5.
Hence the required no is (10x+y)=(10*5+4)=54.
