Simple Equations 15/04/2021

A. 49
B. 94
C. 83
D. Either (a) or (b)
E. None of these

Explanation:

Let the number be in the form of 10a + b
Number formed by interchanging a and b = 10b + a.
a + b = 13 — (1)
10b + a = 10a + b – 45
45 = 9a – 9b => a – b = 5 — (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
2a = 18 => a = 9 and b = 4
The number is: 94.
