the number obtained by reversing a two digit number is more than the original number. if the sum of its digit is 8 find the number

Answer 1

Let's "reason" this through.

First: We know the digits add up to 8. That means these are our original number choices

17

26

35

44

53

62

71

Reversing the two digit number does not change it with 44. So that is not our answer.

It seems like all of the first three numbers would work: 17 reversed is 71 which is larger than the original.

35 reversed would be 53 which is larger than the original. 26 reversed would be 62 which is larger than the original.

So I think there are three correct answers, unless there are more limitations than given here. They are:

17, 26, 35
