Let the digits be x and y.

Then, x+y = 9

the original number is 10x+y.

On reversing, we get the new number as 10y+x

The new number is greater than the old number by 27, i.e.

(10y+x) - (10x+y) = 27

or 9y-9x = 27, or y-x = 3

and x+y = 9

Adding the two equations, we get 2y = 12 or y = 6.

Thus, x = 3.

Therefore, the original number is 36.

Let the digit in units place = x
The digit in tens place = 3x
The number is 10(3x) + x = 31x

Digits are interchanged
Digit in units place = 3x
Digit in tens place = x

The new number= 10(x) + 3x = 13x

Sum of these two numbers = 88

31x + 13x = 88

44x = 88

x = 2

3x = 6

The original number is 62
