The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 9.
let the ones digit is x then tens digit is 9-x
then the no is 10(9-x)+x........original no
If the digits are reversed,
the no is 10x+(9-x)...........new no
the new number is 63 greater than the original number.
so 10x+(9-x)=63+10(9-x)+x
or 9x+9=153-9x
or 18x=153-9=144
or x=8 is the ones digit
so the tens digit ig 10-8=1
so the original number is 18
