A number consists of two digits. The sum of digits is 8. If digits are interchanged, the new number becomes 36 less than the original number. The number is?

Answer: 62
Explanation

Let the two-digit number be 10x + y, where x is the tens digit and y is the unit digit.

Given: x + y = 8

If digits are interchanged, the new number is 10y + x.

Given condition: (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36

Simplifying: 9x - 9y = 36 → x - y = 4

Solving x + y = 8 and x - y = 4, we get x = 6, y = 2.

The number is 62.
