A two digit number is three times the sum of its digits. If 45 is added to it, the digits are reversed. The number is ( A ) 32 ( B ) 27 ( C ) 23 ( D ) 72 |

Answer» The correct option is (B) 27. Explanation: Let the tens and the units digits of the required number be x and y, respectively. Let the number be 10x + y. Now, 10x + y = 3(x +y) 10x + y = 3x + 3y 10x - 3x = 3y - y 7x = 2y 7x - 2y = 0 .........(i) Given that if 45 is added to it, the digits are reversed. (10x + y)+ 45 = (10y + x) 10x + y + 45 = 10y + x 10x - x + y - 10y = -45 9x - 9y = -45 9(x - y) = -45 x - y = -45/9 x - y = -5 .........(ii) Multiplying (i) by 1 and (ii) by 2, we gets 7x - 2y = 0 ………(iii) 2x - 2y = -10 ……..(iv) Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we get 7x – 2x = 10 5x = 10 x = 10/5 = 2 Putting x = 2 in (i), we get 7x - 2y = 0 7 x 2 - 2y = 0 14 - 2y = 0 -2y = -14 y = -14/-2 = 7 Number = (10x + y) = 10 x 2 + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27 Solution: Correct answer is ( B ) 27 Explanation: From the options take 27 sum of digits = > 2+7=9 |
