18 is your answer mate
let be the last digit of x then X equal to 10 + D
after moving the last digit to front then the number becomes
10^n-1 d+c
- according to question
- 10^n-1 d+c=2(10c+d) which is also equal to (10^n-1 minus 2)d=19c
- computing 10power k modulo 19 for k equal to 1,2,3........we get 10,5,12,6,3,11,15,17,18,9,14,7,13,16,8,4,2
- hence the smallest possible value of n-1 is 17
- which implies it to be c=17 digit number
from (10^n-1 minus 2)d=19c
so d=2 then n=18 digit number
hope you understand mate
