Question

If we divide the unknown two-digit number by the number consisting of the same digits written in the reverse order, we get 4 as a quotient and 3 as a remainder. Now if we divide the required number by the sum of its digits, we get 8 as a quotient and 7 as a remainder. Find the number.

Solution

Let n(a,b) be the number.
n(a,b)=10a+b
Given that, n(a,b)n(b,a) gives 4 as quotient and 3 as remainder.
n(a,b)=4n(b,a)+3
10a+b=40b+4a+3
6a=39b+3
2a=13b+1
Given that, n(a,b)=8(a+b)+7
10a+b=8a+8b+7
2a=7b+7
7b+7=13b+1
6=6b
b=12a=13+1
a=7
71 is the required number.
