Let the unit’s digit and ten’s place digit of the number be x and y respectively.

∴ Number = 10x + y

Now, according to the question,

x + y = 10      ----(1)

And,

10x + y = 10y + x + 36

⇒ 9x – 9y = 36

 ⇒ x – y = 4      ----(2)

Solving the equations (1) and (2), we get,

x = 7 and y = 3

∴ Required product of the two digits = 7 × 3 = 21
