Answer»

Given :

  • Sum of digits of TWO digit number is 9.
  • When the digits are interchanged the new number is greater than the original number by 9.

To FIND :

  • The original number.

SOLUTION :

Let the digit at the tens place be x.

Let the digit at the units place be y.

Original Number = (10x + y)

Case 1 :

The sum of tens digit and units digit is 9.

Equation :

\implies \sf{x+y=9}

\sf{x=9-y\:\:\:\:\bold{1}}

Case 2 :

When the digits of the two digit number are interchanged, the new number is greater than original number by 9.

Reversed Number = (10y +x)

Equation :

\implies \sf{10y+x=10x+y+9}

\implies \sf{10y-y=10x-x+9}

\implies \sf{9y=9x+9}

\implies \sf{9x+9=9y}

\implies \sf{9x-9y=-9}

\implies \sf{9(9-y) -9y=-9}

\implies \sf{81-9y-9y=-9}

\implies \sf{-18y=-9-81}

\implies \sf{-18y=-90}

\implies \sf{y=\dfrac{-90}{-18}}

\implies\sf{y=\dfrac{90}{18}}

\implies \sf{y=<klux>5</klux>}

Substitute, y = 5 in equation (1),

\implies \sf{x=9-y}

\implies \sf{x=9-5}

\implies \sf{x=4}

\large{\boxed{\bold{Ten's\:digit\:=\:x\:=\:4}}}

\large{\boxed{\bold{Unit's\:digit\:=\:y\:=\:5}}}

\large{\boxed{\bold{\purple{Original\:Number\:=\:10x+y=10(4)+5=40+5}}}}
