Question

The sum of two digits of a 2-digit number is 9. If the number obtained by interchanging the digits exceeds the original number by 27, find the number.

RRB NTPC 2025 Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (10-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

36

Let the number be \(10a+b\) with \(a+b=9\).

Interchanged number minus original: \((10b+a)-(10a+b) = 9(b-a) = 27 \Rightarrow b-a=3\).

Solving \(a+b=9\) and \(b-a=3\): \(b=6,\ a=3\).

Hence, the number is 36.
