Assumption
Also
Hence
pc = 8 ... (1)
When 18 is subtracted the digits interchange their places
So,
10p + c - 18 = 10c + p
10p + c - 10c - p = 18
9p - 9c = 18
9(p - c) = 18
p - c = 2
p = 2 + c ....(2)
pc = 8
(2 + c)c = 8
2c + c² = 8
c² + 2c - 8 = 0
c² + 4c - 2c - 8 = 0
c(c + 4) - 2(c + 4) = 0
(c - 2) (c + 4) = 0
(c - 2) = 0
c = 2
(c + 4) = 0
c = -4
Hence ,
c = 2
pc = 8
p × 2 = 8
p = 4
p = 4
= 10p + c
= 10(4) + 2
= 40 + 2
