In a two-digit number, the units digit is twice the ten's digit. If 27 is added to the number, the digits are reversed. Find the number.
The correct option is D: 36
Let the digit in the units place be x and digit in the tens place be y.
According to first condition,we have
⇒x=2y……(i) [∵ units digit =2×tens digit]
∴ the two digit number is 10y+x.
When the digits are reversed, the reversed number will be 10x+y
When 27 is added, the digits are reversed. [Given]
Original number +27= Reversed number
∴10y+x+27=10x+y
⇒9x−9y=27
⇒x−y=3……(ii)
Putting x=2y in equation (ii), we get
2y−y=3
⇒y=3
Putting y=3 in equation (ii), we get
x−3=3
⇒x=6
Original number =10y+x=10×3+6=36
Hence, the number is 36.
