उत्तर

10

Explanation:

Let Ajay's age be x years and Vijay's age be y years.

Ajay is younger than Vijay by 5 years.

y - x = 5    ...(I)

Sum of their ages is 25 years.

x + y = 25   ...(II)

Adding (I) and (II) we have

2y = 30

⇒ y = 15

x = 10

Thus, Ajay's age is 10 years.

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.

Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.

∴ The number = 10x + y

∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`

∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132

∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`

∴ x + y = `square`      .....(i)

By second condition,

Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2

∴ x – y = 2     ......(ii)

Solving equations (i) and (ii)

∴ x = `square`, y = `square`

Ans: The original number = `square`


Solve: 99x + 101y = 499, 101x + 99y = 501

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3. If 5 is added in each numbers, then the ratio becomes 5:7 find the numbers.

The ratio of two numbers is 2:3.

So, let the first number be 2x and the second number be `square`.

From the given condition,

`((2x) + square)/(square + square) = square/square`

`square (2x + square) = square (square + square)`

`square + square = square + square`

`square - square = square - square`

`- square = - square`

x = `square`

So, The first number = `2 xx square = square`

and, Second number =  `3 xx square = square`

Hence, the two numbers are `square` and `square`


A 2-digit number is such that the product of its digits is 24. If 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits interchange their places. Find the number.
