Solution

Let the two digit number be 10x+y.
Given that the sum of the digits is 9
x+y=9 .......(1)

Given that the number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the given number by 27
10y+x=10x+y+27
9x9y=27

On taking 9 as common
xy=3 ...........(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2)
x+y=9
xy=3

2x=6
x=3

3+y=9
y=6

Therefore, the number is 10x+y is 36.

Hence, this is the answer.
