Sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 7. If number obtained by interchanging the digits is 9 more than the original number, then what is the sum of the squares of the digits of the number?
Sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 7. If number obtained by interchanging the digits is 9 more than the original number, then what is the sum of the squares of the digits of the number? Correct Answer 25
Given:
Sum of two digit = 7
Concept:
Two digit number is in the form of 10x + y
where y and x are unit's and ten's digit respectively.
Calculation:
Let the unit's digit is y and ten's digit is x
x + y = 7
⇒ x = 7 - y ---- (1)
Original number = 10x + y
Interchange digit number = 10y + x
According to question:
10y + x = 10x + y + 9
⇒ 10y + x - 10x - y = 9
⇒ -9x + 9y = 9
⇒ -x + y = 1
-(7 - y) + y = 1 (from 1)
⇒ -7 + y + y = 1
⇒ 2y = 1 + 7
⇒ 2y = 8
⇒ y = 4
x = 7 - 4
⇒ x = 3
(3)2 + (4)2
⇒ 9 + 16
⇒ 25
∴ The sum of the squares of the digits of the number is 25.
