Solution

Let the digit at units place = xLet the digit at tens place = yNow, original number = 10y+xNow, according to first condition : 9x+y - 17 = 10y+x8x - y = 17 ......1According to second condition :13x-y + 21 = 10y+x or 13y-x + 21 = 10y+x12x - 23y = -21 ......2 or 3y-14x = -21 .....3SOLVING 1 AND 2 :Multiply 1 by 3 and 2 by 2, we get24x - 3y = 51 ....424x - 46y = -42 ....5Subtracting 5 from 4, we get43y = 93 y = 9343 not possible as the digit can not be in fractionSOLVING 1 AND 3 :Multiply 1 by 3 , we get24x - 3y = 51 ....6Adding 3 and 6, we get10x = 30 x = 3Now, from 1, we get8×3 - y = 17y = 7So, original number = 10×7+3 = 73
