10. The sum of a two digit number and the number formed by reversing the order of the digits is 154. If the digits differ by 4, the number is

Correct Answer: (1) 95 or 59
Solution:(1) Let the number be 10x + y
where x > y.
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = 154
⇒ 11x + 11y = 154
⇒ x + y = 154/11 = 14 …(i)
and x - y = 4 …(ii)
By equations (i) + (ii), we get
2x = 18 ⇒ x = 9
∴ x - y = 4 ⇒ 9 - y = 4
⇒ y = 9 - 4 = 5
∴ Number = 95
WHEN x < y, number = 59
