b=9a
If a =1, b=9 hence, 19
If a =2, b=18 this is not possible since a and b are digits of two digit no and hence individually have to be single digit
hence a=1, b=9 is the only possibility
sufficient
stmt 2
multiple of 19
stem: >9
there are many nos like 19, 38, 57, 76.....not unique and hence not sufficien
