A Certain Number Of Two Digits Is Three Times The Sum Of Its Digits. If 45 Be Added To It, The Digits Are Reversed. The Number Is?

Answer»

LET x and y are the digits of the number with x in ten’s place and y in one’s place. 

So, 10x+y is the value of the number. 

Given 10x + y = 3 (x + y) 

⇒7x – 2y = 0 …………….(i) 

And also given that, 

10x + y + 45 = 10y + x (∵ digits are reversed⇒ x in one’s and y in ten’s place). 

⇒ 9x – 9y = -45 

⇒ x – y = -5 ………………(ii) 

PUT value of y from eq. (i) to eq. (ii) 

⇒ x – (7x/2) = -5 

⇒ x = 2 

And y = 7

So the number is 27
