  • Question
  • If the number obtained on the interchanging the digits of two-digits number is 18 more than the original number and the sum of the digits is 8, then what is the original number?


  • Options
  • A. 50
  • B. 51
  • C. 35
  • D. 53

  • Correct Answer
  • 35 

    Explanation

    Method 1 to solve the given question.
    Lets assume the unit's digit is y and the ten's digit is x. then, the number is 10 x + y.
    According to question, after interchanging the digits, the new number is 10y + x.
    Then,
    New Number - 18 = Original number
    10y + x = 10x + y + 18
    ? 9y - 9x = 18
    ? y - x = 2 .....................(1)
    Again according to question,
    Sum of digits of Original Number = 8
    x + y = 8 ..............................(2)
    Add the equation (1) and (2) , we will get
    y - x + x + y = 2 + 8
    ? 2y = 10
    ? y = 5
    Put the value of Y in equation (2) , we will get
    x + 5 = 8
    ? x = 8 - 5 = 3
    Then , the original number = 10x + y
    Put the value of x and y and get the original number.
    The original number = 10x + y = 10 x 3 + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35

    Method 2 to solve the given question.
    Given that sum of digits of original number is 8.
    Let us assume that unit digit is x , then ten digit will be 8 - x. (since sum of digits is 8.)
    Now Original number = 10( 8 - x) + x
    After interchanging the digits , the number = 10x + (8 - x) = 9x + 8
    According to question.
    New number = original number + 18
    ? 9x + 8 = 10(8 - x) + x + 18
    ? 9x + 8 = 80 - 10x + x + 18
    ? 9x + 8 = 98 - 9x
    ? 9x + 9x = 98 - 8
    ? 18x = 90
    ? x = 90/18
    ? x = 5
    The original number = 10(8 - x) + x = 10(8 - 5) + 5 = 10(3) + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35
