solve this mathematically without assumption or by hit and trial method ?
There are 2 numbers A and B where B is a 2-digit number and A is equal to square of the sum of two digits of B.If (A - B) = 27, what is the value of B ?

let B = 10x + y
then, A = (x+y)^2
now According to question,
x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - 10x - y = 27
rearranging the eqn we get:
x^2 + y^2 + 25 + 2xy - 10x - 10y = 52 - 9y
or
(x+y-5)^2 = 52 - 9y
or
x+y-5 = (52-9y)^0.5
now x,y lies in the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
so x+y-5 must be an integer..
and hence (52 - 9y) must be a perfect square..
hence we get y=3,4(corresponding values of (52 - 9y are 25 and 16)...
if y=3
x=7
if y=4
x=5
Hence there are two such values of B
they are 73 and 54.
Hope you got this man.

If we denote B with xy, the value of B is 10*x + y (living in the decimal system). x and y are digits between 0, 1, 2...9, x not being zero (for B to be two digit). Knowing
A = (x+y)^2, A = 27+B = 27 + 10*x + y we have
(x+y)^2 = 27 + 10*x + y = 27 + 9 *x + (x+y),
or (x+y)^2 - (x+y) = 27 + 9*x
if introduce x+y=z that is
z*(z-1) = 9*(3+x)
As 1=<x=<9 and bearing in mind that z is a positive, this yields
6.52 =< z =< 10.9. More, z should be such an integer, that z*(z-1) is divided by 9. That gives us it might be 9 or 10.
From the above if z = 9 x = 5 y = 4
' if z = 10 x = 7 y = 3
Thus there are two solutions B = 54 or B = 73.

Let the tenth digit of the number B = x
and the unit's digit of the number B = y
Hence number B= 10x+y
Number A =square of the sum of two digits of B =(x+y)²
A−B=(x+y)²−(10x+y)=27
and (x+y)²−10x−y=27
x can be ≤ 9 and y ≤9
x+y ≤ 18
(x+y)² ≥ 27 hence x+y ≥ 6
B=A−27 since B is a two digit number A≤126
and since A is a perfect square hence A= 121 , 100, 81, 64, 49, 36,25,16
Since A > by 27
Hence A = 121 , 100, 81, 64, 49, 36
and B = 94, 73, 54 ,22,
Since (x+y)² =
(x+y)²=(9+4)² =169
(x+y)²=(7+3)² =100
(x+y)²=(5+4)² =49
(x+y)²=(2+2)² =16Because B < A
Hence B can Be 94 or 73
Since 169 −27 > 100
Hence B can be 73 or 54
