Two-Digit Number Problems (Set 1 with Solutions)

1) Product = 12, +27 reverses digits


Let tens = x, ones = y.
xy = 12, 10x + y + 27 = 10y + x
→ 9x - 9y = -27 → x - y = -3 → x = y - 3
Substitute: (y - 3)y = 12 → y² - 3y - 12 = 0 → y = 6, x = 3
Number = 36. Check: 36 + 27 = 63 ✔

2) Sum = 9, reversed number = 27 less


x + y = 9, 10y + x = 10x + y - 27
→ y - x = -3 → y = x - 3
Then x + (x - 3) = 9 → x = 6, y = 3
Number = 63. Check: 63 - 27 = 36 ✔

3) Tens = ones + 3, reversed = 36 less


x = y + 3, 10y + x = 10x + y - 36
→ y - x = -4 → y = x - 4
Contradiction → No valid two-digit number.

4) Sum = 8, reversed number = +18


x + y = 8, 10y + x = 10x + y + 18
→y-x=2→y=x+2
Then x + (x + 2) = 8 → x = 3, y = 5
Number = 35. Check: 35 + 18 = 53 ✔

5) Number = 4 × (sum of digits), reversed = 9 less


10x + y = 4(x + y) → 2x - y = 0 → y = 2x
Reversal: 10y + x = 10x + y - 9 → y - x = -1 → y = x - 1
No integer solution → No valid two-digit number.
(Note: 12 satisfies first part but reverse 21 is +9, not -9.)
