Question -

A two digit number is 4 more than 6 times the sum of its digits. If 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits are reversed. Find the number. (C.B.S.E. 2001C)



Answer -

Let units digit of the number = x
and ten’s digit = y
then number = x + 10y
The number by reversing the digits = y+ 10x
According to the condition given,
x + 10y = 6 (x + y) + 4
=> x + 10y = 6x + 6y + 4
=> x + 10y – 6x – 6y = 4
=> -5x + 4y = 4 ….(i)
and x + 10y – 18 = y + 10x
=> x + 10y – y – 10x = 18
=> -9x + 9y = 18
=> x – y = -2 ….(ii)
(Dividing by 9)
=> x = y – 2
Substituting in (i),
-5 (y – 2) + 4y = 4
-5y + 10 + 4y = 4
-y = 4 – 10 = – 6
y = 6
Number = x + 10y = 4 + 10 x 6 = 4 + 60 = 64
