A number is formed by two digits whose sum is 14.
The 10 digits are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. We cannot use a digit less than 5 because then the value of the other would have to be greater than 9.
So there are only 5 possible combinations. 59,68,77,86,95
Next, it says if the digits are reversed the number is increased by 36.
59 + 36 = 95 which is the digits reversed so are answer is 59.
