Question
The digit at tens place of a two digit number is two times the digit at its units place. If the digits are interchanged and added to the original number, then the result will be 66. Find the original number.
Options:
A .  42
B .  63
C .  84
D .  21
Answer: Option A
:
A
Let the digit in units placebe x.
Then, the digit in tens placewill be 2x.
So, the number will be
(10×2x)+(1×x)=20x+x=21x
When we interchange the digits, the number will be
(10×x)+(1×2x)=10x+2x=12x
It is given that,
21x+12x=66
33x=66
x=6633
x=2
The digit in units place =2
The digit in tens place =4
The original number is 42.
Verification:
Original number =42
Interchanging the digits of 42, we get 24.
Sum of the original number and the interchanged number is42+24=66.
