Answers
- Tens digit of a number be A .
- One's digit of a number be B .
- Original Number = 10A + B
- Reversed Number = 10B + A
- The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 17 .
- The new number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number by 9 .
In equation (ii) ,
Substituting the value of A from equation (ii) :
Now substituting the value of B in equation (i) :
Now the original number would be :

Q: The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 17. The new number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number by 9. Find the original number.
- The original number = 89
Let us assume:
Tens digit of a number be A.
Ones digit of a number be B.
Number formed:
Original number = 10A + B
Reversed number = 10B + A
The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 17.
⇒ A + B = 17
⇒ A = 17 - B _____(i)
The new number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number by 9.
⇒ 10A + B + 9 = 10B + A _____(ii)
- The original number.
Finding the values of A and B:
In equation (ii).
⇒ 10A + B + 9 = 10B + A
Substituting the value of A from eqⁿ (i).
⇒ 10(17 - B) + B + 9 = 10B + (17 - B)
⇒ 170 - 10B + B + 9 = 10B + 17 - B
⇒ - 10B + B - 10B + B = 17 - 170 - 9
⇒ - 18B = - 162
Minus sign cancelled both sides.
⇒ 18B = 162
⇒ B = 162/18
⇒ B = 9
Now, In equation (i).
⇒ A = 17 - B
Substituting the value of B.
⇒ A = 17 - 9
⇒ A = 8
Finding the original number:
⇒ Original number = 10A + B
Substituting the values of A and B.
⇒ Original number = 10(8) + 9
⇒ Original number = 80 + 9
⇒ Original number = 89
