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:
xxx is the tens digit
yyy is the units digit
Now,
x+y=12x + y = 12x + y =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+x) = 4(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=4
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 × 8 + 4 = 80 + 4 = 84
Thus, The number is 84.
