Answer
Let x be the digit at ten's place and y be the digit at unit's place.
Given,
Ten's digit exceeds twice the unit's digit by 2.
∴ x - 2y = 2
⇒ x = 2y + 2 ……..(1)
Given,
Number obtained by inter-changing the digits is 5 more than three times the sum of the digits.
∴ 10y + x = 3(x + y) + 5
⇒ 10y + x = 3x + 3y + 5
⇒ 10y - 3y + x - 3x = 5
⇒ 7y - 2x = 5 ……..(2)
Substituting value of x from equation (1) in equation (2), we get :
⇒ 7y - 2(2y + 2) = 5
⇒ 7y - 4y - 4 = 5
⇒ 3y - 4 = 5
⇒ 3y = 9
⇒ y = = 3.
Substituting value of y in equation (1), we get :
⇒ x = 2y + 2 = 2(3) + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8.
Original number = 10x + y = 10(8) + 3 = 80 + 3 = 83.
Hence, original number = 83.
