Solution

Let the digit at units place = xLet the digit at tens place = yNow, original number = 10y + xAccording to first condition : x + y = 5y = 5 - x .....1When the digits are interchanged, then new number = 10x +yNow, according to second condition : 10y+x + 9 = 10x + y10y-y+x-10x = -99y - 9x = -9y -x = -15-x-x = -15-2x = -1-2x = -1 - 5-2x = -6x = 3Now, from 1, we gety = 5 - x = 5 - 3 = 2So, original number = 10×2+3 = 23
