The sum of digits of a two-digit number is 14 and the difference between the two digits of the number is 2. The product of the two digits of the number is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let the two digits be aa and bb.

From the problem:

a+b=14a + b = 14 ... (Equation 1)

a−b=2a - b = 2 ... (Equation 2)


Adding Equation 1 and Equation 2:

a+b=14a + b = 14

a−b=2a - b = 2

2a=162a = 16

a=8a = 8


Using Equation 1:

8+b=148 + b = 14

b=14−8b = 14 - 8

b=6b = 6

The two digits are 8 and 6.


Product =8×6= 8 \times 6

=48= 48

Therefore, the product of the two digits is 48.
