In a two-digit, if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the ten's digit be x.
Then, unit's digit = x + 2.
Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2.
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.
(11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144
22x2 + 26x - 140 = 0
11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0
(x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0
x = 2.
Hence, required number = 11x + 2 = 24.

@All.
Here, I completely disagree.
The problem indicates in a two-digit if it is known that its unit's digit exceeds its ten's digit by 2. None of the answers presented are for example 31 or 42 , 53 or 64....etc. etc,
The answer of 24, is incorrect within the rule of the question.

The possibilities are 24 and 46.
Product × Sum = 144,
In case of 24 => X × 6 = 144,
Hence, X=24.
Therefore 24 is the right answer.

Hence, X=24.
Therefore 24 is the right answer.

@Ayushi.
=(11x+2)(2x+2)=144 (Multiplication with both values 11x => 2x & 2 and 2 => 2x & 2).
=>22x^2+22x+4x+4 = 144,
22x^2+26x+4-144 = 0,
22x^2+26x-140=0/squaring this value.
11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0.
We get.
(x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0,
x = 2.
=(11x+2)(2x+2)=144 (Multiplication with both values 11x => 2x & 2 and 2 => 2x & 2).
=>22x^2+22x+4x+4 = 144,
22x^2+26x+4-144 = 0,
22x^2+26x-140=0/squaring this value.
11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0.
We get.
(x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0,
x = 2.

Hi, Can anyone tell me, how we get (22x^2 + 26x - 140)?

This type of problem doesn't gives a correct answers, as question sentences are itself confusing.

@All.
If the 10th place be denoted by 10x then unit place exceeds 2 more than the 10th place then unit place value should be denoted as 10x+2 why they denote x+2 for the unit place. Please explain this.

2 digit number can be represented as 10x+y.
Let's take a 2-digit number 52.
it can be written as 50+2.
50=10*5.
So "10 * 5 +2" (10x+y).

The product of the given number and sum of digit means;
24 * (2+4) = 144.
So, the answer is 24.
24 * (2+4) = 144.
So, the answer is 24.
