    Question

    The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. If the digits are reversed, seven times the new number equals to four times the original number. Find the number.

    A.

    75

    B.

    48

    C.

    57

    D.

    84

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12.
    If the digits are reversed, seven times the new number equals four times the original number.
    Solution: 
    Let the two-digit number be10x+y10x + y10x+y, where:
    xxis the tens digit
    yyis the units digit 
    Now, 
    x+y=12x + y = 12=12
    From the second condition (seven times the reversed number equals four times the original number):
    7(10y+x)=4(10x+y)7(10y + x) = 4(10x + y)7(10y+x4(10x+y)
    70y + 7x = 40x + 4y
    70y - 4y = 40x - 7x 
     66y = 33x
    2y = x
    Substitute x=2yx = 2yx=2y into the first equation:
    (2y)+y=12(2y) + y = 12(2y)+y=123y=123y = 123
    3y=12y=4y = 4y=
    Now,
    x=2y=2×4=8x = 2y = 2 \times 4 = 8x=2y=2×4=8
    Original number=10x+y=10×8+4=80+4=84\text{Original number} = 10x + y = 10 \times 8 + 4 = 80 + 4 = 84Original number 10x+y
       10 × 80 84
    Thus,  The number is 84.
