Answers
Given : The sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by reversing the order of its digits is 99. If the digits differ by 3.
Solution:
Let the digit in the unit's place be x and the digit at the tens place be y.
Number = 10y + x
The number obtained by reversing the order of the digits is = 10x + y
ATQ :
Condition : 1
x - y = ±3 ………….(1)
Condition : 2
(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 99
10x + y + 10y + x = 99
11x + 11y = 99
11(x + y) = 99
x + y =99/11
x + y = 9 ………….(2)
Thus , we obtain two following systems of linear equations :
(i) x - y = 3 ………….(3)
x + y = 9………….(4)
(ii) x – y = -3………….(5)
x + y = 9………….(6)
(i) First, we solve eq. (3) & (4) by adding :
x - y = 3
x + y = 9
----------------
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
On putting x = 6in eq (3) we obtain :
x - y = 3
6 - y = 3
-y = 3 - 6
-y = - 3
y = 3
Number = 10y + x = 10 × 3 + 6 = 30 + 6 = 36
Hence, the number is 36.
(ii) Now, we solve eq. (5) & (6) by adding :
x - y = - 3
x + y = 9
---------------
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = 3
On putting x = 3 in eq (5) we obtain :
x - y = - 3
3 - y = - 3
-y = -3 - 3
-y = - 6
y = 6
Number = 10y + x = 10 × 6 + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63
Hence, the number is 36 and 63.
Hope this answer will help you…
