Number System
The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference of the two digits of the number ?
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.
Let the greater and the smaller number be g and s respectively.gs = 2560g + s exceeds g - s by 64 i.e., g + s - (g - s) = 64i.e., 2s = 64 => s = 32.g = 2560/s = 80.
Let the first number be x and the second number be y.∴ y² = 82 - 15 = 64 - 15 = 49∴ y = 7∴ x² + 73 = 568= x² + 343 = 568= x² + 568 - 343 = 225∴ x = √225 = 15∴ 15 x 3/5 = 9
