Question

Accepted Answer

let the two-digit number be 10p + q
Now according to the question
p + q = 10
and (p +10q) + 36 = (q + 10p)
⇒ -9q + 9p = 36
⇒ -q + p = 4 ....(ii)
on adding eq (i) and (ii) we get
2p = 14 ⇒ p =7
∴ p = 7 and q = 4
∴ Required number is the 73
So, the number is a multiple of prime number.
