# PLAYING WITH NUMBERS

## EXERCISE 5 (A)

1.The sum of the digits of a 2 digit number is 9.The numbers is 6 times the unit digit.Find the number.

2.The sum of the digits of a 2 digit number is 7.If the digits are reserved, the new number increased by 3 less than 4 times the original number. Find the original number.

3.The sum of a number of 2 digits and of the number formed by reversing the digits is 110; and the difference of the digits is 6. Find the number.

4.A certain number between 10 and 100 is 8 times the sum of its digits, and if 45 be subtracted from it the digits will be reserved. Find the number.

5.A number consists of three digits, the right-hand digit being zero. If the left hand and the middle digits be interchanged the number is diminished by 180.If the left hand digit be halved and the middle and right hand digits be interchanged the number is diminished by 454.Find the number.

Hint: let the original number be 100a + 10a + 0, i.e., 100a +10b, then ,by the first condition (100a+10b)-(100b-10a)=a-b=2

By the second condition, new number = 100​$$\times$$​​$$\dfrac{a}{2}+0+b=50a+b$$​ and so ​$$(100a+10a)-(50a+b)=454\Rightarrow 50a+9b = 454$$
