Question
The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by interchanging the digits is 110. If 10 is subtracted from the first number, the new number is 4 more than 5 times the sums of the digits of the first number. Find the first number.
Solution
Let the ten’s digit be x and the unit digit be y
The number is 10x + y
If the digits are interchanged
The new number is 10y + x
By the given first condition
10x + y + 10y + x = 110
11x + 11y = 110
x + y = 10 → (1) ...(Divided by 11)
Again by the given second condition
10x + y – 10 = 5(x + y) + 4
10x + y – 10 = 5x + 5y + 4
5x – 4y = 14 → (2)
(1) × 5 ⇒ 5x + 5y = 50 → (3)
(2) × 1 ⇒ 5x – 4y = 14 → (2)
(3) – (2) ⇒ 9y = 36
y = `36/9`
= 4
Substitute the value of y = 4 in (1)
x + y = 10
x + 4 = 10
x = 10 – 4
= 6
∴ The number is (10 × 6 + 4) = 64
