6. The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 11. If we interchangethe digits then the new number formed is 45 less than the original. Findthe original number. |
Answer» AnswEr:-Two digit number = 83Let the digit at UNIT's place be m & digit at ten's place be n ⇒ ORIGINAL number = m + 10n Case 1:- ⇒ m + n = 11 [Eq.1] Case 2:- ★ Interchanged number :- ⇒ New number = n + 10m According to question:- ⇒ Original number - New number = 45 ⇒ m + 10n - (n + 10m) = 45 ⇒ m + 10n - n - 10m = 45 ⇒ 9n - 9m = 45 ⇒ 9(n - m) = 45 ⇒ n - m = 45/9 ⇒ n - m = 5 [Eq.2] Now ADDING both equations:-
So, digit at ten's place = 8 Put this value in (Eq.2) ⇒ 8 - m = 5 ⇒ m = 8 - 5 ⇒ m = 3 So, digit at unit's place = 3 Now number:- ⇒ Original number = 3 + 10(8) ⇒ Original number = 3 + 80 ⇒ Original number = 83 Therefore, |
