The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. Also, nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits. Find the number.

Let the one’s digit be ‘a’ and ten’s digit be ‘b’.


Given, sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9. Also, nine times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits.


a + b = 9 ----- (1)


Also, 9(10b + a) = 2(10a + b)


88b = 11a


a = 8b


Substituting value of a in eq1


9b = 9


b = 1


Thus, a = 8


Number is 18.
