- Only one 56,65
56+65=121
65-56=9 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(11)
- 10x+y be the 2 digit number then
10x+y+10Y+x(reverse) == 11(x+y)
and 10x+y - (10y+x)== 9(x-y)
solving x and y trail error method.. only one satisfies both the equations 6 and 5
ans: 1

- Let the number xy = 10x + y
Given that, 10x+y - (10y - x) = 9(x-y) is a perfect square
So x-y can be 1, 4, 9. -------- (1)
So given that 10x+y +(10y +x) = 11(x+y) is a perfect square.
So x+y be 11. options are (9,2), (8,3),(7,4),(6,5) hence only ( 6,5 ) satisfy the condition. .therefore ans. Is 1 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- there is only one such number 65. which gives 65+56=121=11^2 & 65-56=3^2.
