A two-digit number is such that the product of its digit is 14. If 45 is added to the number; the digits interchange their places. Find the number.
Let the digit on units place be x & on that place be y.
∴ The original number = 10y + x and number with interchanged digits = 10x + y
A.T.Q
x.y=14..(i)
(10y+x)+45=10x+y
→ 9x-9y=45
Or x-y=5
X=5+y…(ii)
Substitute the value of x in (i)
Y(5+y)=14
5y+y2=14
Y2+5y-14=0
Y2+7y-2y-14=0
Y(y+7)-2(y+7)=0
(y+7)(y-2)=0
Y=-7 and y=2
Neglecting y = -7
Now, put y = 2 in eq…(i)
X(2) =14
X=7
∴ The number = 10y+x=10(2)+7=27
