Let the number be 10x + y.∴ 10x + y - (10y + x) = 27or 9x - 9y = 27∴ x - y = 3 .......(I)x + y = 13 .......(II)From eqn (I) and (II)x = 8 and y = 5.So the number = 85Therefore, product = 8 x 5 = 40
Let the present age of the father be 'x' and that of the son be 'y'. Then x/y = 8/3∴ 3x = 8y Further, x + 12/y + 12 = 2/1 ∴ x + 12 = 2y + 24 ∴ x - 2y = 12 ......(ii)From eqn (i) and (ii), x = 48, y = 18 ∴ sum = 66 yrs.
