If the digits of a two-digit number are interchanged , the number formed is greater than the the original number by 45. If the difference between the digits is 5, then what is the original number?

Let the ten's digits be x and unit's digit be y.
Then,(10x + y) - (10y + x)=36 ?9(x-y)=36
? x - y=4

Let us assume the first book published in year x.
According to question,
Books are published at seven years interval,
First edition book published in year = x
Second edition book published in year = x + 7
Third edition book published in year = x + 14
Four edition book published in year = x + 21
Five edition book published in year = x + 28
Six edition book published in year = x + 35
Seven edition book published in year = x + 42
When the seventh book was issued, the sum of the publication year was 13,524.
x + x + 7 + x +14 + x +21 + x + 28 + x + 35 + x + 42 =13524
147 + 7x = 13524
7x = 13524 -147
? x = 13377/7 = 1911
The first book published in year x = 1911

Let us assume the first number is x and second number is y.
According to question,
sum of twice the first number and thrice the second number is 100.
2x + 3y = 100 ...................(1)
and sum of thrice the first number and twice the second number is 120.
3x + 2y = 120...................(2)
Subtract equation (1) from Equation (2) after multiply 2 with Equation (1) and 3 with Equation (2), we will get.
3(3x + 2y) - 2(2x + 3y) = 3 x 120 - 2 x 100
9x + 6y - 4x - 6y = 360 - 200
5x = 160
x = 32
put the value of x in equation (1)
2 x 32 +3y = 100
3y = 100 - 64
3y = 36
y = 12
The larger Number is 32 .

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

Let the fraction be x/y,
According to the question,
(x + 5) / (y + 5) = 7/8
? 8x + 40 = 7x + 35
? 8x - 7y = -5 ..(i)

Again, according to the question,
(x + 3)/(y + 3) = 6/7
? 7x + 21 = 6y + 18
? 7x - 6y = -3 ..(ii)


On multiplying Eq. (i) by 6 and Eq. (ii) by 7 and subtracting, we get
48x - 42y = -30
49x - 42y = -21
---------------------
-x = -9
? x = 9
On putting te value of x in Eq. (i) , we get
72 - 7y = -5
? -7y = -5 - 72
? y = -5 - 72
? y = (-77) / (-7) = 11
? Required fraction = 9/11

Let us assume the ten's digit of the number is n. Then the unit's digit will be 3n.
According to question,
The sum of the digits is equal to 8.
sum of the digit = 8
n + 3n = 8
? 4n = 8
? n = 2
So, ten's digit is 2 and unit's digit is 6.
So the number = 10n + 3n = 10 x 2 + 3 x 2 = 20 + 6 = 26.

Suppose the number of cows = a therefore , the number of herdsmen = a
The total number of legs = Legs of cows + Legs of herdsmen ( Cow has 4 legs and herdsmen has 2 legs )
The total number of legs = a x 4 + a x 2 = 4a + 2a = 6a
The total number of heads = Heads of cows + Heads of herdsmen ( Cow has 1 head and herdsmen has also 1 head )
The total number of heads = a + a = 2a
According to question,
The total number of legs was 28 less than four times the number of heads,
6a = 4 x 2a - 28
? 8a - 28 = 6a
? 8a - 6a = 28
? a = 28/2 = 14

Let us assume the number be N.
According to question,
A number when subtracted by 1/7 of itself gives the same value as the sum of all the angles of a triangle,
N - N x 1/7 = 180 ( As we know sum of all angels of a triangle is 180 .)
? N - N/7 = 180
? (7N - N)/7 = 180
? (7N - N) = 180 x 7
? 6N = 180 x 7
? N = 180 x 7/6
? N = 30 x 7
? N = 210

Let us assume the ten's place digit be x.
Then, the number = 10x + 3
and sum of digits = x + 3
According to question,
So, ( x + 3 ) = 1/7( 10x + 3 )
?7x + 21 =10x +3
? 3x = 18
? x = 6
The number = 10x + 3 = 10 x 6 + 3 = 60 + 3 = 63

Method 1 to solve the question.
Let us assume the numerator be x.
Then the denominator will be 3x + 2.
According the question,
if the numerator as well as denominator is increased by one , the fraction becomes 1/3,
(x + 1)/(3x + 2 + 1) = 1/3
? (x + 1)3 = 1(3x + 2 + 1)
? 3x + 3 = 3x + 3
Since Left hand side equation is same to right hand side equation. So we cannot solve the equation and cannot determine the answer.

Method 2 to solve the question.
Let us assume the numerator be x and denominator be y.
According to question,
The denominator of a fraction is 2 more than thrice its numerator.
y = 3x + 2 .....................(1)
Again According to question,
if the numerator as well as denominator is increased by one , the fraction becomes 1/3.
(x + 1)/(y + 1) = 1/3
? 3(x + 1) = y + 1
? 3x + 3 = y + 1
? y = 3x + 2............(2)
Since Equation (1) and (2) is same. So we cannot determine the number.

Method 3 to solve the question.
Hit and Trail method.
Solve all option one by one as per given question.
First took Option (A) 4/13
Numerator 4 in given fraction in Option (A)
The denominator of a fraction is 2 more than thrice its numerator.
So denominator = 2 + 4 x 3 = 2 + 12 = 14
So fraction will be 4/14 So this is wrong answer.
Now took Option (B) 3/11
Numerator 3 in given fraction in Option (B)
The denominator of a fraction is 2 more than thrice its numerator.
So denominator = 2 + 3 x 3 = 2 + 9 = 11
So fraction will be 3/11 So this is right answer.
