Let the digit at 10’s place be x
and digit at unit’s place be y.
∴ Number = 10x + y
Number obtained after reversing the order of the digits = 10y + x
Case I.
10x + y + 10y + x = 66
⇒ 11x + 11y = 66
⇒ 11(x + y) = 66
⇒ x + y = 6 ...(i)
Case II. x - y = ±2
⇒ x - y = + 2 ...(ii)
and x - y = - 2 ...(iii)
Considering (i) and (ii), we get
Putting the value of ‘y’ in (i), we get
x + 2 = 6
⇒ x = 4
So, Number = 10x + y
= 42
Considering (i) and (iii), we get
Putting the value of ‘y’ in (i), we get
x + y = 6
⇒ x + 4 = 6
⇒ x = 2
So, Number = 10x + y = 24
Thus, there are two such numbers 42 and 24.
