Question 95

Product of digits of a 2-digit number is 72. If we add 9 to the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by interchange of the digits. Find the number.

Solution

Let the unit's digit of the number be $$y$$ and ten's digit be $$x$$

=> Number = $$10x + y$$

Product of digits = $$x \times y = 72$$ --------------(i)

According to question, => $$10x + y + 9 = 10y + x$$

=> $$9y - 9x = 9$$

=> $$y - x = \frac{9}{9} = 1$$ --------------(ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get : $$x = 8$$ and $$y = 9$$

$$\therefore$$ Number = 89

=> Ans - (B)
