Solution

Let the digit at ones place = xLet the digit at tens place = yNow, original number = 10y+xNow, xy = 24y = 24x .....1Now, when the digits are interchanged, then new number = 10x + yNow, according to question :10y+x + 18 = 10x + yx - y = 2 ......2Put the value of y from 1 in 2, we getx - 24x = 2x2 - 2x - 24 = 0x2 - 6x + 4x - 24 = 0xx-6 + 4x-6 = 0x-6x+4 = 0x-6 = 0 or x+4 =x = 6 or x = -4 rejectedSo, x = 6 and y = 246 = 4Hence original number = 10×4 +6 = 46
