The number obtained by interchanging the two digits of a two-digit number is lesser than the original number by 54. If the sum of the two-digit number is 10, then what is the original number?

Let us assume the digits of the original number are unit's digit a and ten's digit b.
The Original Number will be 10a + b.
After interchanging the digits the new number will be 10b + a.
According to question,
The number obtained by interchanging the two digits of a two-digit number is lesser than the original number by 54.
New Number = Original Number - 54
10b + a = 10a + b - 54
⇒ 10b + a - 10a - b = -54
⇒ 9b - 9a = -54
⇒ a - b = 6....................................(1)
Again according to question,
Sum of the digits of original number = 10
a + b = 10..................................................(2)
Add the equation (1) and (2), we will get
a - b + a + b = 10 + 6
2a = 16
a = 8
Put the value of a in Equation (2) , we will get
8 + b = 10
b = 10 - 8
b = 2
Put the value of a and b for original number, we will get
10a + b = 10 x 8 + 2 = 80 + 2 = 82
