    Question

    A two-digit number has a sum of its digits equal to 9.

    Additionally, if 27 is subtracted from this number, the resulting number has its digits reversed. What is the original number?
    A 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 93 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 43 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 73 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the two-digit number be 10a + b. Given: a + b = 9 Also, subtracting 27 reverses the digits: 10a + b - 27 = 10b + a So, 9a - 9b = 27 a - b = 3 Now solve: a + b = 9 a - b = 3 Add both equations: 2a = 12 a = 6 Then, b = 3 So the original number is 63. Check: 63 - 27 = 36 Answer: 63
