The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 10. The number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the original number by 36. Find the original number.​

Answer» GIVEN:-
  • Sum of the digits of two digit NUMBER is 10.

  • The new number obtained by interchanging the digits EXCEEDS the ORIGINAL number by 36.

To Find:-

  • The original number.

Solution:-

Here, LET the unit digit of the two digit number be x.

Sum of the digits = 10

                         Tenth \ digit = 10 - Ones \ digit

Hence, We can write tenth digit number as   10 ( 10 - x ).

Original number is   x + 10 ( 10 - x )

After interchanging the digits we get   (10 - x) + 10x

According to the question,

(10 - x) + 10x  -   [ x + 10 ( 10 - x ) ]   =  36

10 - x + 10x - x - 100 + 10x = 36

18x - 90 = 36

18x = 36 + 90

x = \dfrac{126}{18}

x = 7

Therefore, The original number = x + 10 ( 10 - x )

                                               = 7 + 10 ( 10 - 7 )      [ Putting the value of x ]

                                               = 37

Hence, The original number is 37.

Verification:-

Since, (10 - x) + 10x  -   [ x + 10 ( 10 - x ) ]   =  36

  ⇒ (10 - 7 ) + 10 \times 7 - [ 7 + 10 ( 10 - 7 )] = 36             [ Putting the value of x ]

  ⇒ 73 - 37 = 36

  ⇒ 36 = 36

Hence, From verification the original number is 37 .
