Ray writes a two digit number. He sees that the number exceeds 4 times the sum of its digits by 3. If the number is increased by 18, the result is the same as the number formed by reversing the digits. Find the number. Answers.
A) 2 B) 5 C) 6 D) 7 E) 8
Solution: Let the two digit number be xy.   4(x + y) +3 = 10x + y .......(1)   10x + y + 18 = 10 y + x ....(2)   Solving 1st equation we get 2x - y = 1 .....(3)   Solving 2nd equation we get y - x = 2 .....(4)   Solving 3 and 4, we get x = 3 and y = 5   Answer:5
