To solve this problem, let's assume the tens digit of the two-digit number as 'x' and the units digit as 'x+2'.

Let's break down the information given in the problem:

1. The units digit exceeds the tens digit by 2:
The units digit is 'x+2' and the tens digit is 'x'. Therefore, we can write the equation: (x+2) - x = 2. Simplifying, we get 2 = 2, which is true. This condition is satisfied.

2. The product of the number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144:
The given number is represented as 10x + (x+2), since it is a two-digit number. The sum of its digits is x + (x+2) = 2x + 2.

The product of the number (10x + (x+2)) and the sum of its digits (2x + 2) is equal to 144. So, we can write the equation: (10x + (x+2)) * (2x + 2) = 144.

Expanding the equation, we get: (11x + 2) * (2x + 2) = 144.
Simplifying further, we get: 22x^2 + 26x + 4 = 144.
Rearranging the equation, we have: 22x^2 + 26x - 140 = 0.

Now we need to factorize this quadratic equation. Dividing each term by 2, we get: 11x^2 + 13x - 70 = 0.

Factoring this equation, we find: (11x - 14)(x + 5) = 0.

Setting each factor to zero, we get two possible solutions:
11x - 14 = 0, which gives x = 14/11.
x + 5 = 0, which gives x = -5.

Since x represents the tens digit, it cannot be negative. Therefore, x = 14/11.

However, the tens digit must be a whole number, so we discard the solution x = 14/11.

Hence, the only possible solution is x = 2.

Therefore, the tens digit is 2 and the units digit is 4 (2+2).

So, the number is 24, which is option A.

If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 15, then three-tenth of that number is:
  • a)
    35
  • b)
    36
  • c)
    45
  • d)
    54
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kalyan Kumar answered
Given: One-third of one-fourth of a number is 15.

Let's assume the number as 'x'.

One-third of one-fourth of 'x' can be represented as (1/3) * (1/4) * x.

According to the given information, (1/3) * (1/4) * x = 15.

Solving the equation, we get (1/12) * x = 15.

Now, we need to find three-tenths of 'x', which can be represented as (3/10) * x.

We can find the value of 'x' using the equation we obtained earlier.

(1/12) * x = 15

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate 'x', we get:

x = 15 * 12

x = 180

Now, substitute the value of 'x' in the expression (3/10) * x to find the answer:

(3/10) * 180 = 54

Therefore, three-tenths of the number is 54.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' - 54.

Let's assume the three numbers to be a, b, and c.

Given:
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 138 ...(1)
ab + bc + ac = 131 ...(2)

We need to find the sum of these three numbers, which is a + b + c.

To simplify the problem, let's first square equation (2):
(ab + bc + ac)^2 = 131^2
a^2b^2 + b^2c^2 + a^2c^2 + 2ab^2c + 2abc^2 + 2a^2bc = 17161

Now, let's subtract equation (1) from this:
(a^2b^2 + b^2c^2 + a^2c^2 + 2ab^2c + 2abc^2 + 2a^2bc) - (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) = 17161 - 138
a^2b^2 + b^2c^2 + a^2c^2 + 2ab^2c + 2abc^2 + 2a^2bc - a^2 - b^2 - c^2 = 17023

Rearranging the terms, we get:
a^2(b^2 - 1) + b^2(c^2 - 1) + c^2(a^2 - 1) + 2abc(ab + bc + ac - a - b - c) = 17023

Now, let's substitute equation (2) into this equation:
a^2(b^2 - 1) + b^2(c^2 - 1) + c^2(a^2 - 1) + 2abc(131 - a - b - c) = 17023

Simplifying further:
a^2b^2 - a^2 + b^2c^2 - b^2 + a^2c^2 - c^2 + 262abc - 2abc(a + b + c) = 17023

Rearranging and factoring:
(a^2b^2 + b^2c^2 + a^2c^2 - a^2 - b^2 - c^2) + abc(262 - 2a - 2b - 2c) = 17023

Substituting equation (1) into this equation:
138 + abc(262 - 2a - 2b - 2c) = 17023

Simplifying:
abc(262 - 2a - 2b - 2c) = 16885

Dividing both sides by 2:
abc(131 - a - b - c) = 8442

Now, let's substitute equation (2) into this equation:
abc(131 - a - b - c) = (ab + bc + ac)(131 - a - b - c)
abc(131 - a - b - c) = 131(ab + bc + ac) - (a^2 + b^2 + c^2)

Substituting the given values:
abc(131 - a - b - c) = 131(131) - 138
abc(131 - a - b

A two-digit number is such that the product of the digits is 8. When 18 is added to the number, then the digits are reversed. The number is:
  • a)
    18
  • b)
    24
  • c)
    42
  • d)
    81
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sonal Chopra answered
To solve this problem, let's consider the two-digit number as "10x + y," where x represents the tens digit and y represents the units digit.

1. Product of the digits is 8:
We know that the product of the digits is 8, so we can write the equation as:
x * y = 8

2. When 18 is added to the number, the digits are reversed:
When we add 18 to the number, the digits are reversed. So, the new number can be written as "10y + x." We can express this as an equation:
10x + y + 18 = 10y + x

Now, let's solve these equations step by step:

From equation 1, we have:
x * y = 8

From equation 2, we can simplify it by combining like terms:
10x - x + y - 10y = -18
9x - 9y = -18

Dividing both sides of the equation by 9, we get:
x - y = -2

Now, we have a system of two equations:
x * y = 8
x - y = -2

We can solve this system by substitution or elimination method:

Substitution Method:
From the second equation, we can express x as:
x = y - 2

Substituting this value of x into the first equation, we get:
(y - 2) * y = 8
y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0

Factoring the quadratic equation, we get:
(y - 4)(y + 2) = 0

So, y can be either 4 or -2. But since we are dealing with a two-digit number, y cannot be -2.

Therefore, y = 4. Substituting this value back into the equation x = y - 2, we get:
x = 4 - 2 = 2

Hence, the two-digit number is 24, which is option B.

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?
  • a)
    69
  • b)
    78
  • c)
    96
  • d)
    Cannot be determined
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Tarun Menon answered
Let's assume the two-digit number as XY, where X represents the tens digit and Y represents the units digit.

Given conditions:
1) The sum of the digits is 15: X + Y = 15
2) The difference between the digits is 3: X - Y = 3

To find the value of X and Y, we can solve these two equations simultaneously.

Adding the two equations, we get:
(X + Y) + (X - Y) = 15 + 3
2X = 18
X = 9

Substituting the value of X in the first equation, we get:
9 + Y = 15
Y = 15 - 9
Y = 6

Therefore, the two-digit number is 96.

Now, let's check the options given:
a) 69: The sum of the digits is 6 + 9 = 15, but the difference between the digits is 9 - 6 = 3, which does not satisfy the given conditions.
b) 78: The sum of the digits is 7 + 8 = 15, but the difference between the digits is 8 - 7 = 1, which does not satisfy the given conditions.
c) 96: The sum of the digits is 9 + 6 = 15, and the difference between the digits is 9 - 6 = 3. This option satisfies both the given conditions.
d) Cannot be determined: This option is incorrect as we have determined that the two-digit number is 96.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c) 96.

A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to the original number, then the resulting number will be divisible by:
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    5
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    11
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Interchanging the digits of a two-digit number and adding the new number to the original number:

Let's consider a two-digit number, AB, where A represents the tens digit and B represents the units digit. The value of this number can be represented as 10A + B.

If we interchange the digits, the new number will be BA, which can be represented as 10B + A.

When we add the original number (10A + B) to the new number (10B + A), the resulting number can be calculated as:

(10A + B) + (10B + A) = 11A + 11B = 11(A + B)

Divisibility by 11:

To determine if the resulting number is divisible by 11, we need to check if (A + B) is divisible by 11.

If (A + B) is divisible by 11, then 11(A + B) will also be divisible by 11.

Example:

Let's consider the number 34.

If we interchange the digits, we get the number 43.

When we add 34 and 43, we get 77, which is divisible by 11 because 7 + 7 = 14, and 14 is divisible by 11.

Conclusion:

In general, whenever we interchange the digits of a two-digit number and add the new number to the original number, the resulting number will always be divisible by 11.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 11.

The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2?
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    16
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kiran Reddy answered
Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is greater than the unit's digit.
Let ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.
Then, (10 × 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 36
⇒ 9x = 36
⇒ x = 4
∴ Required difference
= (2x + x) - (2x - x)
= 2x
= 8
