Question

the ones digit of a two digit number is twice the tens digit and the number formed by reversing the digit is added to the original number the sum is 99 find the original number

Answer 1

the two digit number is 36

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the tens digit be y and the ones digit be x.

The original number = 10y + x

The reverse number = 10x + y

It is given that ones digit is twice the tens digit :]

➳ x = 2y ............[Equation (i)]

According to question now,

➳ 10x + y + 10y + x = 99

➳ 11x + 11y = 99

➳ 11 (x + y) = 99

➳ x + y = 99/11

➳ x + y = 9

➳ y = 9 - x.........[Equation (ii)]

Now, Substituting equation (ii) in equation (i) we get :

➳ x = 2 (9 - x)

➳ x = 18 - 2x

➳ 3x = 18

➳ x = 18/3

➳ x = 6

Putting x = 6 in equation (ii) we get :

➳ y = 9 - x

➳ y = 9 - 6

➳ y = 3

Therefore,

The original number = 10y + x = 10(3) + 6 = 30 + 6 = 36
