The value of two digit integer

[yass20015]

What is the value of the two-digit positive integer n?
1- The sum of the digits in n is 12
2- If the digits in a are reversed, the value of the number formed is 36 more than the value of n.

The answer is C)Together. But why not B ? Why the statement 2- alone is not enough ? Can we found other numbers than 84 and 48 ?

Thanks

How about 37 and 73?
Or 26 and 62?

In DS, Variable approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem.
Remember equal number of variables and equations ensures a solution.


=> Since we have 2 variables (units digit and tens digit) in the original condition, we need 2 equations to solve the problem and thus the answer is C. (1) 1 equation, (2) 1 equation

=> 2) is not the answer because the number of n is NOT unique, NOT sufficient,





If you know our own innovative logics to find the answer, you don't need to actually solve the problem.
