Solution

Let the ten's digit and unit's digit of the original number be $x$ and $y$ respectively.

=> original number = $10x + y$

Average of digits = $\frac{x + y}{2} = 7.5$

=> $x + y = 7.5 \times 2 = 15$ -------------(i)

When 9 is subtracted from it, => Reverse number = $10y + x$

=> $(10x + y) - 9 = 10y + x$

=> $9x - 9y = 9$

=> $x - y = \frac{9}{9} = 1$ ----------------(ii)

Adding equations (i) & (ii), we get :

=> $2x = 16$ => $x = \frac{16}{2} = 8$

Putting it in eqn(i), => $y = 15 - 8 = 7$

$\therefore$ Original number = $87$
