Solution

Let x be the first digit of to digit number
and y be second digit of two digit number.
Therefore, two digit number so formed is 10x+y.
As per the given condition,
10x+y=4(x+y)
10x+y=4x+4y
6x=3y
y=2x
Now, if 27 is added to the number, the number is reversed.
10x+y+27=10y+x
10x+2x+27=10(2x)+x
12x+27=20x+x
12x+27=21x
27=9x
x=3
Therefore, y=2x=2×3=6
Therefore, the number is 36.
