The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 11. When the digits are interchanged, the new number formed is 27 less than the original number. Find the original number
Answers
Answer: Let the number =
xy. Then x+y = 11. It’s value = 10x+y
The reversed number yx and it’s value = 10y+x
Difference between the two numbers = 10y+x-10x-y = 9y-9x = 27
x+y=11 and y-x = 3 so y=7 and x=4
The given number = 47 or 74 … QED
hi buddy hopes this helps you and others who are in need.......................
The original number is 74.
Let the two digit number be 10a + b
number obtained after reversing the digits.
10b + a.

a + b = 11 [equation 1]

ATP
10a + b - (10b + a) = 27
10a + b - 10b - a = 27
9a - 9b = 27
9(a - b) = 27
a - b = 27/3
a - b = 3 [equation 2]
______________________________________
Putting the two equations together we get,
a + b = 11
a - b = 3
--------------
2a = 14
a = 7.

putting the value in the equation 1, We get.
7 + b = 11
b = 4.
