Answer -
Sum of two-digit number and number formed by reversing its digits = 66
Let units digit = x
Then tens digit = x + 2
Number = x + 10 (x + 2) = x + 10x + 20 = 11x + 20
and by reversing its digits
Unit digit = x + 2
and tens digit = x
Number = x + 2 + 10x = 11x + 2
11x + 20 + 11x + 2 = 66
=> 22x + 22 = 66
=> 22x = 66 – 22 = 44
=> x = 2
Number = 11x + 20 = 11 x 2 + 20 = 22 + 20 = 42
and number by reversing its digits will be 11x + 2 = 11 x 2 + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
Hence numbers are 42 and 24
