Say, the unit's digit and ten's digit of A are x and y respectively.nidhis.1408 wrote:The number A is a two-digit positive integer; the number B is the two-digit positive integer formed by reversing the digits of A. If Q =10B - A, what is the value of Q?
(1) The tens digit of A is 7.
(2) The tens digit of B is 6.
Hence, A = (10y + x) and B = (10x + y)
Hence, Q = (10B - A) = (100x + 10y - 10y - x) = 99x
Therefore, we need to know x, i.e. the unit's digit of A or tens digit of B.
Obviously only statement 2 is sufficient to answer the question.
The correct answer is B.
