Number System
The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 12. If the new number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number by 54, then what will be the original number?
Since the difference between the divisors and the respective remainders is not constant, back substitution is the convenient method. None of the given numbers is satisfying the condition.
This is a simple division series. Each number is divided by 5. Rule = (1st number / 5 = 2nd number) (2nd number / 5 = 3rd number)....Now, (1000 / 5 = 200), (200 / 5 = 40), (40 / 5 = 8)...So answer is a = 8.
Let the number be 10x + y.∴ x + y = 12 ...........(i)10x + y - (10x + x) = 18or 10x + y - 10y - x = 18or 9x - 9y = 18∴ x - y = 2From (i) and (ii), x = 7, y = 5∴ Number = 75
