If from a two-digit number, we subtract the number

Solution:

Let ab be any two-digit number. Then, the digit formed by reversing it digits is ba.

Now, ab-ba = (10a+b)-(10b +a)

=(10a-a)+(b-10b)

= 9a – 9b = 9(a – b)

Further, since ab-ba is a perfect cube and is a multiple of 9.

.-.The possible value of a – b is 3.

i.e. a = b + 3

Here, b can take value from 0 to 6.

Hence, possible numbers are as follow.

For b = 0, a = 3, i.e. 30

For b = 1, a = 4, i.e. 41

For b =2, a = 5, i.e. 52

For b = 3, a = 6, i.e. 63

For b = 4, a = 7, i.e. 74

For b = 5,a = 8, i.e. 85

For b = 6, a = 9, i.e. 96
