If number=10x+y, given x+y=9 ---(ii) and
10x+y+27=10y+x
9x+27=9y or x+3=y ---(ii)
Solving (i) & (ii) x=3,y=6,Number=36 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- Number can be one out of 18,27,36 .
when digits are reversed, we get 81, 72 , 63.
only in case of 36 , second condition (If 27 is added to the number, its digits are reversed.) is satisfied.
so number is 36. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
