$x$ and $y$ are two digits and $[x][y]$ represents the number $10x+y$. If $[x][y]$ and $[y][x]$ are both primes and $[x][y]-[y][x]=[\frac{x-y}{2}][2(x+y)]$ find $x+y$.
Re: Dhaka Secondary 2009/1
$[y][x]$ is a prime. So $x$ is odd number. So, $x-2$ is also odd number.
So how its possible that $[\frac{x-2}{2}]$ be a digit.
I assume that $[x][y]$ represent $\overline{xy}$. Is my assume correct? Or, i will try again.

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2009/1
Sorry, is should be $[\frac{x-y}{2} ]$ not $[\frac{x-2}{2} ]$
Now the problem is correct!

answer maybe 2(x-y).

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2009/1
$x,y$ are both odd.so $x-y$ is even.
simplifying the equation we get
$x=3y$
so the primes are $31y,13y$.it is possible iff $y=1$.
so $x=3$
hence $x+y=4$
Shifat,thank you for finding my folly

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2009/1
But akhon to baki part ta ami buztasi na, x+y=2(x-y) er por ki korlen??
I mean x=3y but what about the logic behind 13 and 31 s?? :

Re: Dhaka Secondary 2009/1
I did it just by checking.
as both $x,y$ are odd, and $[x][y],[y][x]$ both are primes, $x,y$ can be only $1,3,7,9$
so, we get $11,13,17,19,31,37,53,59,71,93,97$
now, let us take the pairs $13,31;71,17;37,73;97,79$
by just looking at these we can see,the only pair can be $13,31$
