Let the unit's digit be y and ten's digit, be x. Then, the number = 10x + y When interchang in the number is 10y + x. According to the question, \( \Large \left(10x + y\right) - \left(10y + x\right) = 18 \) \( \Large 10x + y - 10y - x = 18 \) = 9x - 9y = 18 = x - y = 2 ...(i) and x + y = 12 ...(ii) On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get x - y = 2 x + y = 12 2x = 14 x = 7 Therefore, x = 7 and y = 5 Product= \( \Large xy = 7 \times 5 = 35 \)
