Answer:

The value of M is 91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose T represents the tens digit and U represents the units digit.

Then the numbers M and N are:

M = 10T + U

N = 10U + T

Compute the value of M - N as follows:

M - N = 10T + U - 10U - T = 9T - 9U = 9 (T - U)

Given:

M > N

⇒ T - U > 0

⇒ T > U

Also, M - N is a multiple of 9.

Since M - N is a two-digit number, the possible values of M - N are:

18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, and 72

The values 81, 90 and 99 would not be considered since:

9 × 9 = 81

9 × 10 = 90

9 × 11 = 99

T - U = 9 (T - U) = 9 , 10 or 11 respectively and the largest difference for T − U we can get is 9 - 0 = 9 - 0 = 9.

Even this would result in N = 9, which is not a 2-digit number.

It is provided that the integer (M - N) has 12  factors.

Of the possible values of M - N the integer with 12 factors is 72.

The factors of 72 are:

1×72

2×36

3×24

4×18

6×12

8×9

So, M - N = 72.

⇒ M - N = 9 (T - U)

        72 = 9 × 8

⇒ T - U = 8

And since T > U, the values of T and U are:

T = 9 and U = 1

We cannot use T - U = 8 - 0 = 8, because then N will be not a two-digit number.

So, M = 91 and N = 19 and their difference is 72.

Thus, the value of M is 91.

Sidana [21]
It would stay at 1,000
say if the number was 1,057
then the number would round up to 1,060
same as if the number was 1,053
the number would round down to 1,050
since the number ends in 0 there is no rounding to do
