Answer» Let the one’s digit be ‘a’ and ten’s digit be ‘b’ Given, two - digit number is 4 more than 6 times the sum of its digits. ⇒ 10b + a = 6(a + b) + 4 ⇒ 4b = 5a + 4 ------- (1) Also, if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. ⇒ 10b + a – 18 = 10a + b ⇒ b – a = 2 ------- (2) Multiplying eq2by 4 and subtracting from eq1 ⇒ 4b – 5a – 4b + 4a = 4 – 8 ⇒ a = 4 Thus, b = 6 Number is 64 |
