Solution

Let the digit at tens place = xSo, the digit at units place = x2Now, original number = 10×x + x2 = 10x + x2Now, when the digits are interchanged, then new number = 10x2+xNow, according to question :10x + x2 + 54 = 10x2 + x10x2 + x = 10x + x2 + 549x2 - 9x - 54 = 0x2 - x - 6 = 0x2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0xx - 3 + 2x - 3 = 0x - 3x + 2 = 0x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0x = 3 or x = -2 rejectedSo, original number = 10×3 + 32 = 30 + 9 = 39
