Correct Question:-
The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 11. If 9 is added to the number its digits are reversed. Find the number.
Answer:-
Let the digit at ten's place be x and one's place be y.
The number = 10x + y
Given:
Sum of the digits = 11
→ x + y = 11 -- equation (1)
And,
If 9 is added to the number its digits are reversed.
→ Original number + 9 = Reversed number
→ 10x + y + 9 = 10y + x
→ 10x + y - 10y - x = - 9
→ 9x - 9y = - 9
→ (x - y) * 9 = - 9
→ x - y = - 9/9
→ x - y = - 1 -- equation (2)
Add equations (1) & (2).
→ x + y + x - y = 11 + ( - 1)
→ 2x = 10
→ x = 10/2
→ x = 5
Putting the value of x in equation (1) we get,
→ x + y = 11
→ 5 + y = 11
→ y = 11 - 5
→ y = 6
The number = 10 * 5 + 6 = 50 + 6 = 56
Therefore, the required number is 56.
