  • Question
  • In a two-digit, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is:


  • Options
  • A. 24
  • B. 26
  • C. 42
  • D. 46

  • Correct Answer
  • 24 

    Explanation
    Let the ten's digit be x.

    Then, unit's digit = x + 2.

    Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.

    Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.

    ∴ (11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144

    ⟹ 22x2 + 26x - 140 = 0

    ⟹ 11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0

    ⟹ (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0

    x = 2.

    Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.
