Answer

Let ten's digit be x and one's digit be y.

According to question,

⇒ xy = 27 ……..(i)

⇒ x - y = 6

⇒ x = 6 + y …….(ii)

Substituting value of x from (ii) in (i) we get,

⇒ (6 + y)y = 27

⇒ y2 + 6y = 27

⇒ y2 + 6y - 27 = 0

⇒ y2 + 9y - 3y - 27 = 0

⇒ y(y + 9) - 3(y + 9) = 0

⇒ (y - 3)(y + 9) = 0

⇒ y - 3 = 0 or y + 9 = 0

⇒ y = 3 or y = - 9.

Since digits cannot be negative,

∴ y ≠ -9

x = 6 + y = 6 + 3 = 9

Number = 10(x) + y = 10(9) + 3 = 93.

Hence, number = 93.
