Solution

Let the digit at units place = xLet the digit at tens place = yNow, original number = 10y+xAccording to first condition :y = 2x .....1When the tens digit is halved and units digit is doubled, thennew number = 10×y2+2x = 5y + 2xNow, according to second condition :5y + 2x = 10y + x - 275y-x = 27 .....2Put y = 2x in 2, we get10x - x = 279x = 27x = 3Now, from 1, we gety = 2x = 2×3 = 6So, original number = 10×6+3 = 63
