A two-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 35. If 18 is added to the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number. |

Answer» Let the two digit number is xy = 10x + y. Given that product of required number is 35. i.e., xy = 35 … (1) (∵Unit digit of number is y and second digit of number is x.) Also, Given that if 18 added to number (10x + y), The digits interchange their places i.e., It becomes yx = 10y + x. i.e., 10x + y + 18 = 10y + x ⇒ 9x − 9y + 18 = 0 ⇒ 9(x − y) = −18 ⇒ y − x = 2 … (2) Now, (y + x)2 = (y − x)2 + 4xy = 4 + 4×35 (using equation (1) & (2)) = 4 +140 = 144 ⇒ y + x = 12 … (3) Now, Adding equation (2) and (3), we get (y – x) + (y + x) = 2 + 12 ⇒ 2y = 14 ⇒ y = 7. Now, Putting y = 7 in equation (3), we get 7 + x = 12 ⇒ x = 12 – 7 = 5. ∴ The required number is xy = 10x + y = 10 × 5 + 7 = 57. |
