Question

Sum of two digits of a two digit number is 9 . When we interchange the digits , it is found that the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27 . What is the two digit number.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two digits = 9

On interchanging the digits, the resulting new number is greater than the original number by 27.

Let us assume the digit of units place = x

Then the digit of tens place will be = (9 – x)

Thus the two-digit number is 10(9 – x) + x

Let us reverse the digit

the number becomes 10x + (9 – x)

As per the given condition

10x + (9 – x) = 10(9 – x) + x + 27

⇒ 9x + 9 = 90 – 10x + x + 27

⇒ 9x + 9 = 117 – 9x

On rearranging the terms we get,

⇒ 18x = 108

⇒ x = 6

So the digit in units place = 6

Digit in tens place is

⇒ 9 – x

⇒ 9 – 6

⇒ 3

Hence the number is 36
