Q:

Can you Solve the Problem ?

SOLVE1500443612.jpg image

Answer

Let the two digits be x & y


From given data in the question, we get


x + y = 3(x - y)


x + y = 3x - 3y


=> 2x = 4y


x/y = 2/1


For having the 2:1, numbers satisfying are


12, 21, 24, 42, 36, 63, 48, 84


From this 36 is eleminated because it is a perfect square and no others are prime or perfect squares.


Hence, there exists 7 such 2-digit numbers => 12, 21, 24, 42, 63, 48, 84.
