A) 107 kmph B) 106 kmph
C) 72 kmph D) 76 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 106 kmph

Q:

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. The difference of the digits is 6. Find the number ?

A) 57 B) 75
C) 48 D) 39
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 39

Explanation:

Let the two-digit number be 10a + b
a + b = 12 --- (1)
If a>b, a - b = 6
If b>a, b - a = 6
If a - b = 6, adding it to equation (1), we get
2a = 18 => a =9
so b = 12 - a = 3
Number would be 93.
if b - a = 6, adding it to the equation (1), we get
2b = 18 => b = 9
a = 12 - b = 3.
Number would be 39.
There fore, Number would be 39 or 93.
