Solution

Let the digit at units place = xLet the digit at tens place = yNow, original number = 10y + xNow, according to first condition : 10y + x = 7x+y10y + x = 7x + 7y3y = 6xy = 2x ....1Now, according to second condition : 10y+x = 3xy - 1210×2x + x = 3x×2x - 12 Using 121x = 6x2 - 126x2 - 21x - 12 = 02x2 - 7x - 4 = 02x2 - 8x + x - 4 = 02xx - 4 + 1x - 4 = 0x-42x+1 = 0x = 4 or x = -12rejectedSo, y = 2x = 2×4 = 8Now, original number = 10×8+4 = 84
