Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 53 Given: The sum of digits of the number = 8. Calculation: Let the two-digit number be 10x + y Where the unit digit and the tenth place digit of the number is y and x respectively. After reversing the digits the number becomes 10y + x. According to the 1st condition, x + y = 8 ----(1) According to the 2nd condition, 10x + y - 18 = 10y + x ⇒ 9x - 9y = 18 ⇒ 9(x - y) = 18 ⇒ x - y = 2 ----(2) by adding equation (1) and equation (2), we get 2x = 10 ⇒ x = 5 On putting the value of x in equation (1), we get 5 + y = 8 ⇒ y = 8 - 5 ⇒ y = 3 So, the two-digit number is 10 × 5 + 3 ∴ The two-digut number is 53. |
