Question: The digit at tens place of a two digit number is two times the digit at ones place. When 27 is subtracted from the number, its digit are reversed.
Solution:
Let the number at tens place be x and the number at ones place be y. The number is 10x+y.
According to the question,
Condition I,
The digit at tens place of a two digit number is two times the digit at ones place.
$or, x = 2y$ - (i)
Condition II,
When 27 is subtracted from the number, its digit are reversed.
$or, 10x + y -27 = 10y +x$
$or, 10x -x -27 = 10y -y$
$or, 9x -27 = 9y$ - (ii)
Put the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get,
$or, 9(2y) -27 = 9y$
$or, 18y -9y = 27$
$or, 9y = 27$
$or, 9×y = 9×3$
$\therefore y = 3$
Put value do y in equation (i), we get,
$or,x = 2y$
$or, x = 2×3$
$\therefore x = 6$
So, (x,y) = (6,3)
10x = 10×6 = 60
10x +y = 60+3 = 63
Therefore, the required two digit number is 63.
