Solution
Step 1: Write the conditions as equations
- The sum of the digits is 9: x + y = 9.
- The number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the original number by 27: 10y + x = 10x + y + 27.
Step 2: Simplify the second equation
10y + x = 10x + y + 27.
10y − y = 10x − x + 27,
9y = 9x + 27.
y = x + 3
Step 3: Solve the system of equations
- x + y = 9,
- y = x + 3
Substitute y = x + 3 into x + y = 9:
x + (x + 3) = 9
2x + 3 = 9
2x = 6 ⇒ x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into y = x + 3:
y = 3 + 3 = 6
10x + y = 10(3) + 6 = 36.
The two-digit number is 36.

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`
