Detailed Solution

It is given that in a two-digit number, the sum of two-digit number is 9. Nine times the number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of digits of the number.
Let, the ten’s place digit be x  , and the one’s place digit be y  .
Then, the number is 10x+y  .
According to the first condition, the sum of two-digit number is 9.
So,
x+y=9  
According to the second condition, nine times the number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of digits of the number.
9(10x+y)=2(10y+x) 90x+9y=20y+2x 88x=11y  
Multiplying the equation x+y=9   by 11 on both the sides.
So, we get,
11x+11y=99  
Adding the equation 88x11y=0  , and 11x+11y=99  .
So,
88x+11x-11y+11y=0+99
99x=99
x=1
Substituting x=1 in the equation x+y=9  .
So, we get,
x+y=9 1+y=9 y=8  
Substituting x=1 and y=8 in the number 10x+y  .
Number =10x+y  
=10 1 +8 =10+8 =18  
The two-digit number is 18.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
